Question

Lincoln middle school plans to collect more than 2,000 cans of food in a food drive. So far, 668 cans have been collected. Write and inequality to find numbers of cams the school can collect on each of the final 7 days of the drive to meet this goal

Answer 1

The answer is "
`\bold{668 + 7x > 2,000}`"

Explanation:

7x = x is the cans obtained within 7 days 668 is the number of cans that are already obtained. Its number for goal cans is 2000. So, the equation is:

`\to 7 x + 668 < 2000`

subtract and add the value 668:

`- 668 \ \ \ \ \ -668`

`\to 7x +0 < 1332`

Divide the value 7:

`7 \ \ \ \ \ \ 7`

`\to x < 190.30 \\\\OR\\\\\to x < 190\\\\`
