Let x be the amount the stock market gains per day.
The total gain in 4 days would be 4x.
Given that the stock market gains the same amount m 4 days in a row, we have:
4x = m
The stock market must gain less than 376 points above its starting point, meaning the total gain in 4 days must be less than 376.
Therefore, the inequality that represents this situation would be:
4x < 376
Substitute 4x = m into the inequality:
m < 376
Suppose the stock market gains the same amount m 4 days in a row which inequality shows how much the stock market could gain per day but must be less than 376 points above its starting point
