A bus has less than 42 seats. If 36 seats are already occupied, write an inequality representing the possible number of passengers that can be added to the bus.

hello

to solve this question, we simply need to write an arithmetic to translate the statement to a mathematical inequality


\begin{gathered} x+36<42 \\ x=\text{the total number of available seats left} \end{gathered}
