H+T is equal to or greater than 150.

You know how to make the equal to or greater than sign right?

X = Ham
Y = Turkey

150 = X + Y

X = 150 - Y

Y = 150 - X



this isn't an inequality

150 </= h + t ?
idk that's the only way I could think to set it up.
H = ham and T= turkey
So the number of turkey sandwiches plus the number of ham sandwiches must be equal to 150 or greater than 150

75<turkey<infinity
75<ham<infinity

X = Ham
Y = Turkey

150 = X + Y

X = 150 - Y

Y = 150 - X


This is an equation, not inequality.

I'll give you some clues. These are the key words/numbers:

- At least
- 150 sandwiches
- Turkey
- Ham
- Inequality

If you put them all together...

x+y > or = 150

X = Ham
Y = Turkey

150 = X + Y

X = 150 - Y

Y = 150 - X
