How is an inequality different from an equation? Give a real-world scenario in which you would write an inequality rather than an equation.
(Below is my real-world scenario, please check!)
George has some money in his wallet. He's thinking of buying pizza, and his wife told him to buy one salad on his way back home that costs $10.00.
That means that on the pizza, you can spend y, and x represents the money in his wallet.
y less than or equal to x - 10
This means that from the money in George's wallet, you have to subtract $10.00 for salad and out of remaining money you can spend some or all of it on pizza.
(Is this a good answer?)
