    Jordan has already scored 153 points this basketball season. If he scores 17 points per game, which inequality represents the number of addional games he needs to play in order to score at least 255 points for the season?

    Let g be the number of games Jordan plays. Total points per game is 17g. And he’s already scored 153. So we need 17g + 153 to be at least 255. The phrase at least means greater than or equal to, so we use the >= operator for our inequality:

    17g + 153 >= 255
