2a = 6

a = 3

5

Create an inequality to represent the scenario and solve the inequality

Julie earns $7 for each car she washes. This week, she wants to save more than $56. How many cars must she wash?  

7c > 56

c > 8

5

Given 2c + 4 > 14

We will distribute the 2 to both c and 4 first

False. We will subtract 4 from both sides first.
