Question

Abha is hosting a party at a place that can hold up to 125 people. Seventy eight people have said they are coming. How many more people can Abha invite?Inequality: ?Solution: ?

Answer 1

Since 78 people said they are coming already, and the place can hold a maximum of 125 people. Abha can invite a certain number of people (say x) such that the total number of attendees, ie x + 78 does not exceed 125.

In inequality form;

$x+78\leq125$

We can go for the solution;

$\begin{gathered} x+78\leq125 \\ x\leq125-78 \\ x\leq47 \end{gathered}$

Thus the inequality is

$\begin{gathered} x+78\leq125 \\ \text{and the solution is} \\ x\leq47 \end{gathered}$
