Brooklyn needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 498 glasses. There are currently 230 glasses. If each set on
sale contains 10 glasses, write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine
x, the number of sets of glasses Brooklyn could buy for the restaurant to have enough
glasses.

Inequality to determine number of glass sets: 10x + 230 ≥ 498

Solved inequality: x ≥ 26.8 (She needs to buy at least 27 sets)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an inequality to represent this situation, you must first identify the important information:

- The restaurant needs 498 glasses total at the least

- They already have 230 glasses

- Each set of glasses has 10 glasses

Now, you can write an inequality to represent this situation:

498 (needed glasses) ≤ 230 (glasses already owned) + 10x (number of glasses in one set (x))

You can rewrite it as 10x + 230 ≥ 498 so that x is on the left and it is ordered by variable exponential value. Now you have the inequality to represent the situation, so to find the number of sets of glasses Brooklyn could buy, you need to isolate x:

10x + 230 ≥ 498 (given)

10x ≥ 268 (subtract 230 from both sides)

x ≥ 26.8 (divide both sides by 10)

So, Brooklyn needs to buy at least 27 sets since she can't buy 4/5 of a set.

the range is 19

step-by-step explanation:

the range is biggest number minus the smallest, so in this case it would be

41 - 22 = 19
