Mary bought more than 72 pencils to distribute to children at an orphanage. She packs these pencils in gift boxes.

If she packs 4 pencils each into x gift boxes, the inequality that represents this situation is
.

The simplified form of the inequality is

Respuesta :

Answer:

4x≥=72

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Particularly, we have:

Given:

X: number of gift boxes

2. We then have to write the inequation that models the problem:

"Mary bought more than 72 pencils"

"She packs 4 pencils each into x gift boxes"

Finally we have:

4x≥=72, for the inequality that represent this situation.

When Simplfying (simplified form):

= x≥72/4

= x≥18

Pug245

Answer:

 

4x > 72  

x > 18
