Exercise 2 Page 94

At least can also be expressed as greater than or equal to.

10≥ 5h

Practice makes perfect
To begin, we will determine which inequality symbol corresponds with the given statement. At least can also be expressed as greater than or equal to, or symbolically represented by ≥. Since 10 comes before this statement, we can write it on the left-hand side of our inequality. 10 ≥... For the right-hand side, since the product of indicates multiplication, we can write the product of a number h and 5 as the following algebraic statement.

&the product of a number $h$ and $5$ & h * 5 Writing the complete inequality, we have the following. 10 ≥ h * 5 Whenever there is a multiplication of a variable and a number, the number can be rewritten as a coefficient for the variable. This gives us the following inequality as our final answer. 10≥ 5h
