Kate is allowed to work no more than 20 hours a week. She has already worked 13 hours this week. At most, how many more hours CAN she work? Write an inequality and solve.

Question
Answer:
Knowing Kate has worked 13 hours already, we write:
13
Knowing Kate can work no more than 20 hours a week, we write:
20 - 13 = 7
This represents the maximum amount of hours, 7, Kate can work the rest of the week. However, she may work less than 7 hours, we can represent this number with x, and thus we represent it as an inequality like so:
x ≤ 7 hours
solved
