Question

A school buys x balls and y bats.The total number of bats and balls is no more than 30:write the inequality to represent this information

Answer 1

Set x for the balls and set y to the bats.

Now, the total of bats and balls is no more than 30. This means that their sum is not greater than 30.

We can write no more than( less than or equal to ) with the next

symbol "≤".

Therefore, we can write the next inequality:

x + y ≤ 30
