Answer:

3x + 100 < 2x - 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem said that Keisha's guess was "250 less than twice the number".

It was written as 250-2x, which is actually twice the number less than 250, because we are subtracting 2x. We just need to write it like this:

2x-250

So the inequality should be:

3x + 100 < 2x - 250

x = number of candies


3x = three times the number of candies

if we increased that by 100, 3x + 100.


2x = twice the number of candies

now, 250 less than that?  2x - 250.
