Question

Graph an inequality to show the number of flying hours
Camille needs to get a license.

Answer 1

I don’t have the specific numbers from your problem — how many total hours are required for the license and how many hours Camille already has? If you give those I’ll write the exact inequality and graph it.

Meanwhile here’s how to do it and a concrete example.

1. Define a variable.
- Let h = the number of additional flying hours Camille needs (or let x = her total flying hours).

2. Write the inequality.
- If the requirement is "at least R hours" (common phrasing), and Camille already has A hours, then:
- For additional hours: A + h ≥ R → h ≥ R − A
- For total hours: x ≥ R
- If the requirement is "more than R hours", replace ≥ with >.

3. Solve for the variable.
- Example: requirement R = 40 hours, Camille has A = 12 hours.
- Additional hours: 12 + h ≥ 40 → h ≥ 28.
- Total hours: x ≥ 40.

4. Graph on a number line.
- For h ≥ 28: draw a horizontal number line, put a closed dot at 28 (closed because ≥), and shade or draw an arrow to the right to show all numbers ≥ 28.
- For x ≥ 40: put a closed dot at 40 and shade to the right.

Simple ASCII sketch for h ≥ 28 (dots every 10 units shown roughly):
... — 20 — 25 — •28——————————→
(closed dot at 28, arrow pointing right)

Tell me the required hours and Camille’s current hours and I’ll give the precise inequality and a clean graph.
