Question

How do you write and inequality to show show the expression: I have $50 give or take $15 in my wallet?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The statement "$50 give or take $15" means you can have anywhere from $50 - $15 to `$50 + $15`

`$50 - $15 = $35`

`$50 + $15 = $65`

We can let the amount of money in your wallet be represented by `w`

We can write a system of inequalities as:

`$35 <= w <= $65`
