Question

after simon fully charges his electric car, he can drive for up to 350 miles before it runs out of battery. simons car was fully charged this morning, and he has driven 140 miles since then. let x represent how many more miles simon can drive without running out of battery. which inequality describes the problem? 140 + x ≤ 350 140 + x ≥ 350 solve the inequality. then, complete the sentence to describe the solution. simon can drive up to more miles before running out of battery.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relationship

The miles already driven (140) plus the remaining miles (x) should be at most the total miles on a full - charge (350), so 140 + x ≤ 350.

Step2: Solve the inequality

Subtract 140 from both sides: 140 + x-140 ≤ 350 - 140.

Step3: Calculate the result

x ≤ 210. So Simon can drive up to 210 more miles before running out of battery.

Answer:

1. First - part: 140 + x ≤ 350
2. Second - part: 210
