Final answer:

To solve the inequality, subtract the number of innings pitched in the latest game from the 82 1/3 inning pitch season to find the number of innings Baron needs to pitch before his latest game to establish equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this inequality, we need to compare the number of innings Baron pitched in his latest game to his 82 1/3 inning pitch season. Since Baron pitched 6 2/3 innings in his latest game, we have the inequality:

6 2/3 > 82 1/3

To find out how many innings Baron needs to pitch before his latest game to establish equality, we can subtract 6 2/3 from both sides of the inequality:

82 1/3 - 6 2/3 > 82 1/3 - 6 2/3

This simplifies to:

75 2/3 > 75 2/3

Therefore, Baron would need to pitch 75 2/3 innings before his latest game to establish equality.
