Question

1. the number of minutes you can use on your prepaid cell phone is no more than 700 minutes. you have used 648 minutes. write and solve an inequality that represents how many more minutes you can use on your cell phone.

Explanation:

Step1: Define the variable

Let $x$ be the number of additional minutes you can use.

Step2: Write the inequality

Since the total number of minutes used (648) plus the additional minutes $x$ must be no more than 700, the inequality is $648 + x\leqslant700$.

Step3: Solve the inequality

Subtract 648 from both sides: $x\leqslant700 - 648$.
$x\leqslant52$.

Answer:

$x\leqslant52$
