Question

The latest online craze is a new game, Khan on Seven. You get 100 points for playing the game. In addition, you get 50 points for each seven-letter word you are able to make with the ten letters you are given. The game leader currently has 17,950 points. Sal wants to break that record, and needs 18,000 points or more to do so.Write an inequality to determine how many seven-letter words, w, Sal will need to make to break the record.

Answer 1

Answer: $50x+100\geq18,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w denotes a seven letter word which Sal will need to make to break the record.

Since  you get 50 points for each seven-letter and 100 points for playing the game.

Then the total points earned by you by making w seven letters words will be:

$50x+100$

Since, Sal wants to break that record, and needs 18,000 points or more to do so.

Then , the required inequality will be :

$50x+100\geq18,000$

Answer 2

You get 100 points for playing the game, and 50 points per each seven letter word you are able to make.

Let "seven-letter" = w

50 points per each seven letter = 50w

100 points for playing the game = + 100

50w + 100 ≥ 18000 is your inequality.

hope this helps
