Answer: x < 100 , where x = the temperature of a pot of water ( in degrees Celsius).

Explanation:

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.

The temperature of water that is not boiling must be less than 100 degrees Celsius.

Let x be the temperature of a pot of water ( in degrees Celsius).

Then, as per given,

x < 100

hence, the inequality to represent a pot of water that is not boiling.:

x < 100
