Ping's ice cream palace offers a special sundae that contains over 2 kilograms of ice cream plus any number of toppings. write an inequality that describes s, the weight of the special sundae in kilograms.

Let "x" represent the weight of the toppings. We know that we can have any number of toppings. This means that one may ask for no toppings at all too.

Now, we have been told that "S" is the weight of the special sundae in kilograms. This definitely included the "mandatory" 2 kilograms of ice cream. Therefore, S will be at-least equal to 2.

Thus, the inequality that describes S, the weight of the special sundae in kilograms at Ping's Ice Cream Palace is given as:

kilograms.

It can be seen that as x increases, S increases too and if an order does not want any toppings in it then the weight of the special sundae will be a minimum of 2 kg which is the weight of the ice cream.

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x
