Question 1119630
-------------------------------------------------------
Wendy is x years old and Jay is six years younger. The sum of their ages is less than 30 write an inequality involving x and solve it. 
My text book doesn't have any examples of how to express inequalities from worded problems. The best that I came up with was x - 6 < 30
--------------------------------------------------------


Wendy's age,  x
Jay's age, x-6


Sum of their ages:   x+(x-6)


Sum of their ages IS LESS THAN 30:
{{{x+(x-6)<30}}}
Simplify this inequality ( and solve).


{{{x+x-6<30}}}
{{{2x-6<30}}}
{{{2x<30+6}}}
{{{x<15+3}}}
{{{x<18}}}
