Question

A player needs to earn at least 1500 points to receive bonus points in a video game. Let p represent the number of points the player has earned

Move a number, a symbol, and a variable to the line to create an inequality that represents the situation?

Answer 1

p ≥ 1500

Which means:

p is equal to or larger than 1500.

Explanation:

We know that the player needs to get, at least, 1500 points.

So if p represents the number of points that the player has, the minimum value of p needs to be 1500. (But P can be larger)

So we already know that we need to use the symbol ≥, because p = 1500 is also a possible solution.

Then the inequality that represents this is:

p ≥ 1500

Which means:

p is equal to or larger than 1500.
