Asked by Amber
How is an inequality different from an equation? Give a real-world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than an equation.
June has $35. She wants to buy her sister 2 puppies as a gift! June needs to know the price so she doesn't spend more than $35.
2x < $35
2x÷2=$35÷2
x = $17.50
Is this a good example of a real life scenario where you would use an inequality rather than using a equation?

Yes. This is an excellent example.
The only correction is to keep the less-than sign rather than use the equal sign.
2x÷2 < $35÷2
x < $17.50

2x ≤ $35
Your division signs look like plus signs.
2x/2 ≤ $35/2
x ≤ $17.50 per puppy
However, if one puppy < $17.50, the other can be proportionately > $17.50.
"≤" is found by pressing "<" and "option" keys.
