Question

The area of the rectangle below is greater than or equal to 18.13 square units. The inequality 3.7w ≥ 18.13 represents this

situation?

Answer 1

w>4.9 (NOTE: The greater than sign is supposed to be greater than OR equal to)

You can rewrite the inequality like this because you can simplify the equation to get rid of the 3.7. You do this by dividing both sides of the expression by 3.7, since that’s what the w is being multiplied by.

Hope this helps!
