Question

problem #10
write the inequality for the word problem. then, graph it on the number line.
brady received some money for his birthday. he could now afford the squishy ball for $5 at the school store. write an inequality for the amount of money brady could have before buying the ball.

Explanation:

Step1: Define the variable

Let $m$ be the amount of money Brady had before buying the ball.

Step2: Determine the inequality

Since he can afford the $5 - dollar$ ball, $m$ must be greater than or equal to 5. So the inequality is $m\geq5$.

Step3: Graph on number - line

On the number - line, put a closed circle at 5 (because $m$ can equal 5) and draw an arrow to the right (since $m$ is greater than or equal to 5).

Answer:

The inequality is $m\geq5$. To graph it, place a closed circle at 5 on the number - line and draw an arrow to the right.
