Question

Describe a real-world situation that can be modeled by the inequality x + 14 > 17, Explain what the solution of the inequality means in the situation you've described.

X + 14 > 17 ( > )has a line under it

Answer 1

x + $14 ≥ $17

Right now, today, the balance in my bank account is $14.

How much can I go in and deposit this afternoon so that the balance will be at least $17 ?

The solution is: x ≥ $3 .

It means that as long as I deposit at least $3 , the new balance will be at least $17 .
