The typical flight of stairs has 12 steps. Billy is on a new fitness regimen that requires him to climb at least 300 steps each day. His fitness tracker says he has already climbed 175 steps.

Let n represent the number of flights of stairs Billy has yet to climb.

Create the inequality that symbolizes this situation.

Then answer this.

If Billy climbs 10 more flights of stairs, will he meet his required 300 steps?

Your minimum of steps is 300, and you have already have climbed 175 steps.

You would base your equation as 300 ≤ n + 175.

But, you need to fix the equation on one unit. Let's go with the stairs route.

If he goes up 10 more flights, you can multiply the amount of steps per flight (12) by the amount of flights (10).

10 * 12 = 120

So, you need to figure out if 300 ≤ 120 + 170 is a true statement. Solving it would be adding 120 to 170.

120 + 170 = 290

Well, 300 is not ≤ 290, so the answer would be no, he wouldn't reach his goal.

300 (at least or < + = ) 12n+175

and No because he would have only climbed 295 steps.
