Answer:
Inequality = 6 + x ≤ 10
x(Number of hours more of television Sarah can still watch this week) = 4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Define a variable, set up an inequality and solve that inequality to determine how many more hours of television Sarah can watch this week.
We are told in the question that:
Sarah is allowed to watch no more than 10 hours of television each week.
This means :
Sarah can watch tv for less than or equal to 10 hours in a week. Sarah has already watched 6 hours of television.
Hence:
The number of hours left that Sarah can watch television in a week is represented as x
Our Inequality Equation =
6hours + x hours ≤ 10 hours
6 + x ≤ 10
Solving the inequality
x ≤ 10 - 6
x ≤ 4 hours
This means Sarah still has no more than (less than or equal to) 4 hours or television left to watch in this week
