Question

A wrestler is required to keep his weight at a maximum of w pounds in order to be eligible for competition. Jordan likes to be at least five pounds lighter than w. If x represents Jordan's ideal weight, which inequality is correct?

Answer 1

w - 5 = x

Explanation:

I cannot see the answer choices, but this is what I would think. It is a simple inequality.

w is the maximum weight.

If Jordan wants to be 5 pounds LIGHTER than w, it would be w - 5.

w - 5 is Jordan's ideal weight.

Therefore, w - 5 = x.
