Keith will run at most 26 miles this week. So far, he has run 14 miles. What are the possible numbers of additional miles he will run? Use t for the number of additional miles he will run. Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer:

[tex]t \leqslant 12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Keith has ran 14 miles already, and he's aiming to reach no more than 26 miles, this week.

So we can put:

[tex]14 + t \leqslant 26[/tex]

Since, 14 is the number we know, t represents the number we have yet to find, and 26 is the product of this inequality. (We use the less-than-or-equal-to sign, because Keith is only aiming for 26 or less miles.)

Now we solve:

Subtract 14 on both sides to get

[tex]t \leqslant 12[/tex]

So t is less-than-or-equal-to 12, meaning Keith has 12 or less miles to run in order to reach 26 miles.

Hope this helps :)

Btw, please let me know if I'm somehow wrong.
