Answer:
\(7x+668>2000\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Lincoln middle school plans to collect more than 2,000 cans of food
They have already collected 668 cans
To Find: WRITE AN INEQUALITY to find numbers of cans the school can collect on each of the final 7 days of the drive to meet this goal.
Solution :
Let x be the number of cans collected on each day.
Cans collected on 7 days = 7x
Since they already collected 668 cans
So they have total cans = 7x+668
We are given that they are required to collect more than 2000 cans
⇒\(7x+668>2000\)
Thus this is the required inequality to find the numbers of cans collect on each final 7 days of drive
Now, \(7x+668>2000\)
⇒ \(7x>2000-668\)
⇒ \(7x>1332\)
⇒ \(x>\frac{1332}{7}\)
⇒ \(x>190.28\)
Thus they require to collect more than approx. 191 cans each day
