Juan is not yet 30 years old. He is 12 years older than Maria. Write an inequality to represent Maria' s age

Answer 1

let

m = maria's age
j = juan's age

Answer 2

Juan is not yet 30 years old ----> j < 30

"He is 12 years older than Maria" tells us that j = m + 12

Answer 3

how would it look like as an inequality?

Answer 4

if j = m+12 and j < 30, then ....?

Answer 5

It would look like j<30+12?

Answer 6

start with j < 30 and replace j with whatever its equal to

Answer 7

so it would be 12<30 right

Answer 8

j is not equal to 12

Answer 9

aw I thought it was cause j=m

Answer 10

no they aren't equal in age

Answer 11

one is 12 yrs older

Answer 12

is it

m-12<30



m<30



30-m>12

Answer 13
