What is linear inequality?

Linear inequalities are the expressions where any two values are compared by the inequality symbols such as, '<', '>', '≤' or '≥'. These values could be numerical or algebraic or a combination of both.

Let the number of race entries be x.

5000 + 55x + 10000 - 15x >= 55000

40x >= 40000

x >= 1000

The charity needs at least 1000 race entries to raise at least $55,000.
