Answer 1

50w+100 greater than or equal to 18000

Explanation:

Answer 2

The required inequality is
`50w+100\geq 18000`

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

You get 100 points for playing the game. In addition, you get 50 points for each seven-letter word you make with the ten letters you receive.

Let w represents a seven letter word which Sal will need to make to break the record.

She gets 100 points for playing the game and 50 points for each seven-letter

Therefore the total points earned is:
`50w+100`

Sal wants to break the record, and she needs 18,000 points or more.

Thus, the required inequality will be:
`50w+100\geq 18000`

Hence, the required inequality is
`50w+100\geq 18000`
