Question

The environmental club is selling indoor herb gardens for Earth Day. Each member is encouraged to sell at least 10 gardens. You sell 3 gardens on Monday and 4 gardens on Tuesday. Write and save an inequality to find the possible numbers of gardens you can sell to reach your goal.

Answer 1

If each member are encouraged to sell at least 10 gardens, and you have already sold 3 + 4 = 7 gardens, therefore you only lack 3.

Let us say that x = the number of gardens you can sell, therefore the inequality equation is:

x ≥ 3

or we can also say

x > 2
