Jonathan ran 5 days this week. the most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles. write an inequality that shows the distance jonathan could have run any day this week.

The maximum distance that Jonathan can run this week is obtained by multiplying 5 and 3.5 miles. That is equal to 17.5 miles. If we let x be the distance he can run any day of this week then, we may express it as
                                        x ≤ 3.5
Then, if we let y be the total distance he can travel in a week then, we may express it as,
                                         y ≤ 17.5

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,
