Solution:

Let "s" represent the brother's money to spend

Your brother has $2000 saved for a vacation

His airplane ticket is $637

Write an expression for the total money spent by adding "s" and the price of plane ticket $ 637

We can frame a inequality as:

Here we have used "less than or equal to" symbol, because he can spent only up to 2000

Solve the inequality for "s"

Thus the amount he can spend for everything else is less than or equal to 1363

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
