Answer: Let x represent the additional hours Jayce can use his flashlight. The total time the flashlight can work is 14 hours, and he has already used it for 3 hours. Therefore, the inequality that describes the problem is:

x ≤ 14 − 3

Now, solve for x:

x ≤ 11

To complete the sentence:

Jayce can use his flashlight for up to 11 more hours before running out of power.
