A store is selling a certain electronic gadget for at least $800, but they are also offering a discount of $150. You want to buy this gadget and you have $150 to spend maximum on it. To determine how much money you need to have before considering the purchase, you set up the inequality:
10x + 150 > 800 - 150
where x represents the amount of money you have.
Simplifying the inequality, we get:
10x > 700
Dividing both sides by 10, we find that:
x > 70
Therefore, in order to afford the gadget with the $150 discount, you must have at least $70 before considering the purchase.
10x + 150 > 800 - 150 -150 10x/10 > 650/10 x > 65 make a real world inequality problem from this
