target due:1/22/26 0%

1. in writing inequalities, the first step is to understand the ______________.
2. when writing inequalities, assigning ______________ to key quantities is essential.
3. to create an inequality, you must determine how the ______________ are related.
4. the phrase \at least\ in a problem implies that the inequality should use the symbol ______________.
5. if you encounter the phrase

o more than,\ the inequality should use the symbol ______________.

1. after writing an inequality, the next step is to ______________ it to simplify.
2. in the example where a budget limits spending to no more than $600, the inequality would show that the cost is ______________ to $600.

Explanation:

1. The first step in writing inequalities is grasping the problem's context and what it describes.
2. Assigning variables to unknown key quantities lets you represent them mathematically.
3. Inequalities define how different quantities (variables/values) compare to one another.
4. "At least" means a value is greater than or equal to a given number.
5. "No more than" means a value is less than or equal to a given number.
6. After drafting an inequality, you simplify it by combining like terms or rearranging.
7. "No more than $600" means the cost cannot exceed $600, so it is less than or equal to 600.

Answer:

1. problem context
2. variables
3. quantities
4. $\geq$
5. $\leq$
6. rewrite
7. $\leq$
