Question

The latest online craze is a new game, Khan on Seven. You get 100 points for playing the game. In addition, you get 50 points for each seven-letter word you make with the ten letters you receive. Sal wants to break the record, and he needs 18000 or more points to do so.

Write an inequality to determine the number of seven-letter words, w Sal could make to break the record.

Answer 1

Answer: 50x+100\geq18,00050x+100≥18,000

Let w denotes a seven letter word which Sal will need to make to break the record.

Since you get 50 points for each seven-letter and 100 points for playing the game.

Then the total points earned by you by making w seven letters words will be:

50x+10050x+100

Since, Sal wants to break that record, and needs 18,000 points or more to do so.

Then , the required inequality will be :

50x+100\geq18,00050x+100≥18,000
