Answer: 1. \(100+50w\geq18,000\)

2. Sal will need to make 358 seven letters words to break the record.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points we get for playing the game = 100

Points foe each 7 letter word we make = 50

Points required to break the record=18,000

Let w be the number of 7 letters words Sal made in the game.

Then it gives the inequality \(100+50w\geq18,000\)

\(\Rightarrow50w=18,000-100\\\Rightarrow50w=17900\\\Rightarrow\ w=\frac{17900}{50}\\\Rightarrow\ w=358\)

Hence, Sal will need to make 358 seven letters words to break the record.
