Miles read 4 books in the first half of March. By the end of March, the library had added Miles to the top-readers board for reading more than 10 books in a month.Let x represent how many books Miles read in the second half of March. Which inequality describes the problem?

Answer 1

`x>6`

Here,
`x` denotes number of books read by Miles in the second half of March

Explanation:

Given: Miles read 4 books in the first half of March.

Also, Miles read more than 10 books in a month.

`x` denotes number of books read by Miles in the second half of March.

To find: inequality that describes the problem.

Solution:

Total number of books read in month of March = Number of books read by Miles in the first half of March + Number of books read by Miles in the second half of March =
`4+x`

Also, Miles read more than 10 books in a month.

Therefore,

`4+x>10\\x>10-4\\x>6`
