PLEASE HELP!! Trevor is writing a paper that must be 50,000 words long. He had already written 23,210 words. Write an inequality
almond37 [142]

Answer:

50,000 ≤ 23,210 + 5x

x = Average number of words per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with 50,000 because that's how many words the paper needs to have.

Use "≤" because Trevor needs to write at least 50,000 words. (He can write more).

Trevor already wrote 23,210 words plus x words per week for 5 weeks.

(Solving for x will help you find the average number of words Trevor must write per week for 5 weeks).
