Answer: Two-Step Inequality Word Problems

Explanation:

Given: S be the number of cans collected by Shane.

Since, Abha collected 178 more cans than Shane did.

Then, the number of cans collected by Abha = S+178

Also, Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling.

So, S+ 178+ S ≥ 2000

⇒ 2S ≥ 2000-178

⇒ 2S ≥ 1822

⇒ 2S ≥ 911

Hence, the solution set of the inequality will be (911, {Infinity Symbol})

~Hope This Helps! :)
