Answer: The inequality is 24 x ≥ 1152.

Explanation:

Hi, to write the inequality we have to analyze the information given:

  • rate= 24 words per minute
  • words in the essay =1152

So, in our inequality, the minutes are the variable "x".

if "x" is one minute,then:

24 x = 24

For our case

24 x = 1152

The statement says "the number of minutes that you will need to type an essay that consists of at least 1152 to words.", at least means more or equal words ( ≥).

finally:

  • 24 x ≥ 1152

Feel free to ask for more if it is necessary or if you did not understand something.
