Question

Petra must write a report with more than 1,000 words forher history class. So far, she has written 684 words. Writeand solve an inequality to find how many more wordsPetra needs to write for her report.

Answer 1

Step 1: Let the remaining number of words be X.

The inequality equation becomes:

`\begin{gathered} X+684>1000 \\ X>1000-684 \\ X>316 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the number of words Petra has to write to have more than 1000 words should be greater than 316 words.
