Question

In Carters video game, he needs to score more than 100 points to move on to the next level. Write an inequality to show how many points Carter needs to earn.

Answer 1

You just need to use a variable name to represent the number of points and make it greater than 100.

Use x as the number of the variable, then x has to be greater than 100.

In mathematical language you use the signs >, ≥, < and ≤.

> means greater than

≥ means greater than or equal to

< means less than

≤ means less than or equal to.

Here you need to state that your variable x is greater than 100, that is

x > 100.

That is inequality you wanted.

Answer: x > 100
