    Isabel will run less than 36 minutes today. So far, she has run 22 minutes. What are the possible numbers of additional minutes she will run?

    Set up our inequality. If she ran 22 minutes, we need to find an expression to find out the remaining minutes
    x + 22 < 36

    Subtract 22 from each side:
    x < 14

    Remember, she cannot run negative minutes, so our lower bound is 0, so we have:
    0 < x < 14
