Question

7. A bounce house can hold 15 children. Seven children go in the bounce

house. Write and solve an inequality that represents the additional number
of children that can go in the bounce house.

Answer 1

15 ≥ x + 7

x ≤ 8

Explanation:

hope it helps

Answer 2

x ≤ 8.

Explanation:

Let x be the additional number of children that can go in the bounce house.

To satisfy the requirement that the bounce house cannot exceed its maximum capacity of 15 children, we can write the following inequality:

7 + x ≤ 15

To solve for x, we can isolate it by subtracting 7 from both sides of the inequality:

x ≤ 15 - 7

x ≤ 8

Therefore, the additional number of children that can go in the bounce house is x ≤ 8.
