To determine the inequality that represents the number of miles \( x \) Bradley needs to run to complete his goal of at least 540 miles for the month, we can set up the inequality based on the information provided.
Bradley has already run 235 miles and needs to run a total of 540 miles. Therefore, the remaining miles he needs to run can be expressed as:
\[
235 + x \geq 540
\]
Where \( x \) is the additional miles he still needs to run. To isolate \( x \), we can rearrange the inequality:
\[
x \geq 540 - 235
\]
\[
x \geq 305
\]
So, the inequality that represents all possible values of \( x \) is:
\[
x \geq 305
\]
This means Bradley needs to run at least 305 more miles in order to meet his goal of 540 miles for the month.
