can someone please help guide me on this problem? thank you in advance
Calculate L for which L*W=161, and then construct the inequality or the set desired.
I got 7 x 23 = 161
so for the first answer
The length must be less than ? cm
what do I put there??
"The solution set is {L | L < 23 cm.} "
Would that do?
