I’m trying to help you right now give me a min

Answer 2

`x > 1610`

Explanation:

Given that the empire fell in 1610

Required

Represent years after the fall of the empire using inequality

From the question, we understand that

1. x represent years

2. The empire fell in 1610

This implies that, years before (and including) 1610 are invalid and we only have to consider years after 1610;

Years such as 1611, 1612, 1613.......

All the aforementioned years are greater than 1610;

The keyword is greater than 1610

And this can be represented as
`x > 1610`
