Question

There 430 people in wave pool. Write an inequality that represents how many more people p can enter the pool.

Answer 1

p >= 430, because the pool has 430 people in there at the moment and we can assume that it is full or it has more space for more people, so p will equal 430 or greater.

Answer 2

Let

p--------> number of additional people who can enter the pool

we know that

the maximum capacity of the pool is $600\ people$

so

the inequality is

$430+p \leq 600$

$p \leq 600-430$

$p \leq 170$

the solution is the interval ----------> (-∞,170]

but remember that the number of people can't be a negative number

so

the solution is the interval -------> [0,170]

therefore

the answer is

The inequality is equal to $430+p \leq 600$
