Question

Ms. Roberts and her students are participating in a March book drive. The class sets

a goal to collect more than 50 books.
Write an inequality using a variable to show the class goal.

Answer 1

The inequality is b > 50 where b is the number of books collected. We want this variable to be larger than 50.

One possible solution is something like b = 100 since 100 > 50 is a true statement.

In contrast, something like b = 23 is not a solution because 23 > 50 is false.

There's not much else to say about this problem.
