His goal this month is to earn more than $1000 total. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats better... 8b + 9u >= 1000 (thats greater or equal...I can't type the line under the greater then sign)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait....I made a mistake...there is no equal sign because he wants to make MORE THEN 1000, so it would be : 8b + 9u > 1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ?? Is it multiply choice ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
