Jenna has $235 in savings. She is able to save $25 per week. If she wants at least $400 in her savings. If w is the number of weeks, express this situation in an inequality.

• 235w+25<400

• 235w+25>400

• 235+25w≥400

• 235+25w≤400

An inverse operation is

• reversing the sign in an inequality

• using the opposite operation to solve equations

•  A number’s distance from zero

One difference between equations and expressions would be...

• you solve both of them using inverse operations.

• you flip the symbol when you multiply or divide by a negative

• equations have an equals because they show two equal expressions. Expresions have terms and operations.
