Question

over the next 17 months you have to read at least 102 books. you have to read x books per month. the inequality 17x ≥ 102 represents this situation. solve the inequality to find the number of books you have to read per month. you have to read at least \square books per month.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x via division

Divide both sides of the inequality by 17.
$$\frac{17x}{17} \geq \frac{102}{17}$$

Step2: Simplify to solve for x

Calculate the quotient on each side.
$$x \geq 6$$

Answer:

6
