Answer:

x>56

Explanation:

Ebony waited more than 56 minutes in the doctor's office. The first step is to recognize the inequality symbols.

"≥" Can be read as more than or equal to

"≤" Can be read as less than or equal to

">" Can be read as more tha

"<" Can be read as less than

In this case, Ebony waited MORE THAN which means that the correct symbol to be used is ">".

The second step is to define a variable. In this case, we're going to say that 'x' represents the time (in minutes) that Ebony waited.

Finally, let's write the inequality.

x > 56 ✔️
