Question

Erik and Nita are playing a game with numbers. In the game they each think of a random number from 0 to 20. If the difference between their two numbers is less than 10 Erik wins. If the difference between their two numbers is greater than 10 Nita winsShould you use an equation or an inequality to represent the ways your player can win and why?

Answer 1

Inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

We use equalities when the player wins with an exact number of points and we use inequality when the player wins with a number of points greater or lower than a specific number.

In this case, Erik wins when the difference is less than 10 and Nita wins when the difference is greater than 10. So, we should use inequality.
