How do i write this inequality

You must be at least 42 inches tall to ride the bumper cars at an amusement park. Write an inequality that represents this situation. Let x represent the heights of people who are allowed to ride the bumper cars.

The inequality for the given condition is x ≥ 42 inches

Solution:

Given that, the condition is you must be at least 42 inches tall to ride the bumper cars at an amusement park.

We have to write an inequality that represents this situation.

Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences formed by relating two expressions to each other. In an equation, the two expressions are deemed equal which is shown by the symbol =

Where as in an inequality, the two expressions are not necessarily equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥

Let "x" represent the heights of people who are allowed to ride the bumper cars

Height of people who are allowed to ride the bumper cars should be at least 42 inches

Height of people ≥ 42 inches [ since at least condition holds even at 42 value also ]

x ≥ 42 inches

Hence, the inequality for the given condition is x ≥ 42 inches
