VOCABULARY An inequalityis a statement that two quantities are not equal. The quantities are compared by using one of the following symbols: < > ≤ ≥ ≠ An inequality may contain a variable, as in x > 3. A solution of an equality is any value of the variable that makes the statement true.

Example 6: Write an Inequality to Represent the Situation Six friends go to a restaurant. They have a gift certificate for $150. They plan to share it equally and spend no additional money. Write an inequality to describe how much each friend can spend.
Example 7 Derek must log at least 20 hours of flight time for a sport pilot certificate. So far, he has logged 7 hours. Write and solve an inequality to describe how much more flight time Derek needs to log.

Example 11: Problem Solving Application The cost to rent a party room is $70. There is an additional fee of $8 per guest. How many guests can Jesse invite if he can spend no more than $150?
Example 12 Hanley Ramirez plays baseball for the Florida Marlins. His batting average is his total hits divided by total at-bats, to the nearest thousandth. With two games remaining in the 2008 season, he had 173 hits and 581 at-bats. If he gets 8 more at-bats, how many more hits must he get to have an average of at least .300?
