Question

Translate the sentence into an inequality.

The difference of B and 5 is greater than or equal to 25.

Answer 1

We know that:

• Given sentence: The difference of B and 5 is greater than or equal to 25.

We can make the following points:

• When the word "difference" comes in a sentence, it means the result of a subtraction problem. This gives us a clue that subtraction was used.
• Since "B" came before 5, the minuend is 5.
• Since 5 came after B, the subtrahend is 5
• The phrase "greater than or equal to" means ≥.

When we put these together, we get:

• B - 5 ≥ 25
