Question

The sum of 13 and the a number t is at least 24 (Question 4).

Answer 1

We have here a case in which we need to translate the verbal phrase into an inequality. In question 4, the case we are solving, we have the word: at least. It means that the other numbers could be larger than 24, but also equal to 24.

Therefore, we can write the inequality as follows:

`13+t\ge24`

That is, the sum, 13 + t, is, at least 24, or it could be more than 24 - but also equal to 24.

In summary, we have that the translation into an algebraic expression is given by the next inequality:

`13+t\ge24`
