Question

You buy a storage case that holds 170 collectible die-cast cars. You have 137 die-cast cars. Write an inequality that describes how many more cars you can buy and still have no more cars than the case will hold.

Answer 1

137 + x <= 170

Explanation:

The following inequality will describe this scenario.

137 + x <= 170

the variable x in this scenario represents the total number of cars that you will purchase. This number is added to the number of toy cars that you already own which is 137. As long as this sum is less than or equal to 170 then your storage case will hold them.
