Question

write an inequality to represent each situation. Do not solve the inequality. define the variable 3. Leslie is driving 850 miles home from vacation. She drives a constant speed of 65 miles per hour. She wants to stopfor the night when she is no more than 300 miles from home.

Answer 1

distance = 850 miles

speed = 65 miles per hour

She needs to cover a distance of 850 miles to her home but she will stop for the night when she is no more than 300 miles from home.

Therefore,

The distance she will drive is

850 - x < 300

550 < x

x > 550

where

x = distance she will drive
