Question

Victoria is 4 years older than her neighbor. The sum of their ages is no more than 14 years.



Enter an inequality that can be used to represent this situation in the box, where x represents Victoria's neighbor's age.

Answer 1

Alright, if Victoria's age is x and her neighbor's age is n, then n+4=x as Victoria is 4 years older than her neighbor.
Since their sum is 14 or less, then x+n≤14 (less than or equal to). In addition, as n+4=x (and x-4=n by subtracting 4 from both sides), we can substitute that in to get x-4+x≤14 and 2x-4≤14. Adding 4 to both sides and dividing by 2, we get x≤9

Answer 2

Answer:

x+(x+4) equal or less than 14
