Question

Five less than half the distance from Delaney’s home to the mall is more than 6 miles.

Write an inequality.

Answer 1

1/2x - 5 > 6, where x is the distance from Delaney's house.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall

so half the distance would be 1/2x

then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5

and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6
