Question 864242: Major storm has wind speeds that are at least 110 mph. Write and solve an inequality that describes how much greater these wind speeds are than 74mph.

Let W denote wind speed in mph.
Major storms satisfy W >= 110. Then we can write W = 74 + d, where d represents how much greater the wind speed is (compared to 74 mph). Then 74 + d >= 110, or d >= 36.
