Question

Latoya will run less than 27  miles this week. So far, she has run 13 miles. What are the possible numbers of additional miles she will run? and Rachel will spend more than $30 on gifts. So far, she has spent $14. What are the possible additional amounts she will spend?

Answer 1

Let x = the number of miles she will run

13+x ≤ 27 Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation

13+x-13 ≤ 27-13 Simplify

x ≤ 14 miles

Let x = amount of money spent on gifts

x+14 ≥ 30 Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation

x+14-14 ≥ 30-14 Simplify

x ≥ $16
