Problem:
Alejandra wants to spend part of $600 on a computer, leaving at least $250 in her account. The inequality represents this situation. Solve for , the amount she can spend.
Solution:
- Start with the inequality:
- Subtract 250 from both sides:
- This means Alejandra can spend up to $350 on the computer.
Correct Answer: C ()

Problem:
The perimeter of a triangle is 104 units, and the combined length of two sides is 64 units. Find the length of the third side.
Solution:
- The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all three sides:
- Solve for the third side:
Correct Answer: C (40 units)

5 Questions for Expansion:
- For the first problem, how would the inequality change if Alejandra only wanted $200 left in her account?
- Could you calculate the area of a rectangle given the base and height instead?
- How would the formula for the triangle problem change for a quadrilateral's perimeter?
- What is the process for solving inequalities that involve fractions or decimals?
- How can we generalize finding a missing side in polygons?
Tip:
When solving inequalities, always isolate the variable step by step and carefully reverse inequality signs when multiplying or dividing by a negative number!
