Question

(Construction) (Solving inequalities) -draw out for me please-
a contractor estimated that her expenses for a construction project would be between $700,000 and $750,000. She has already spent $496,000. how much more can she spend and remain within her estimate?

Answer 1

subtract her expenses so far from the lowest and highest number in the budget and write it in terms of

something<X<something

Answer 2

i think its $253.99

Answer 3

x being the value she can still spend

Answer 4

700000-496000=204000
750000-496000=254000

so you can represent it as 204000<=x<=254000

you want to include that x can equal both of those numbers because any of those values would help her remain within the budget....and so will the values in between those two numbers

Answer 5

Draw it out please?
