Question

The high school soccer team can have no more

than 22 players on the roster. Write and solve an
inequality finding the number of players the
coach may choose if the coach already has 13
players.

Answer 1

13 + x ≤ 22

x ≤ 9

Explanation:

Total players = 22

Players available = 13

Players remaining = x

The inequality can be written as:

Players available + Players remaining ≤ Total players

13 + x ≤ 22

x ≤ 22 - 13

x ≤ 9
