Question

Moises comes up to Juan and tells him, "I bet you $45 I can get more phone numbers than you!". Juan takes Moises up on that bet. If Moises gets 8 phone numbers that week, write an inequality that represents how many phone numbers Juan needs to not lose the bet.

Answer 1

`8\leq x`

Explanation:

Given: Moises comes up to Juan and tells him, "I bet you $45 I can get more phone numbers than you!"

Moises gets 8 phone numbers that week

To find: an inequality that represents how many phone numbers Juan needs to not lose the bet.

Solution:

Amount of bet = $45

Number of calls that Moises get that week = 8

Moises wins a bet if he gets more phone numbers than Juan

Let
`x` denotes phone numbers that Juan get.

An inequality that represents how many phone numbers Juan needs to not lose the bet is
`8\leq x`
