The Holy Roman Empire was a group of regions in Central Europe that was held together by a political union. The Holy Roman Empir
e was formed in the year 962. Let x represent any year. Write an inequality in terms of x and 962 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the year that the Holy Roman Empire formed.
X < 962 Since the Holy Roman Empire was established in 962 and you want values of x that happened before that year, you want x to be less than 962. And conveniently then less than operator ( < ) is used for that. So x < 962.
Given: The Holy Roman Empire was a group of regions in Central Europe that was held together by a political union.
The Holy Roman Empire was formed in the year 962.
Let x represent any year.
The years before 962 ( i.e. less than 962) is represented by :-
Therefore, the inequality in terms of x and 962 that is true only for values of x that represent years before the year that the Holy Roman Empire formed:
