Answer:

A real-life situation can be:

You have a week to save more than 20 dollars because you need a new sweater, your mom gives you x dollars to help you and you save another x dollars. Additionally, at the end of the week, you also need to pay 4 dollars to your brother.

The situation can be represented by:

x + x - 4 > 20

Because at the end of the week you will save x + x - 4 dollars.

This inequality is equivalent to:

2x - 4 > 20
