Set Inequality:  Julie initially sold 6 items and earned a prize for selling more than 20 items in total. Let x be the additional items sold after the first week. The inequality to represent this situation is 6 + x > 20, as she needs to sell more than 20 items in total to earn the prize. Solve Inequality:  To find out how many items Julie sold after the first week, solve the inequality: 6 + x > 20 Subtract 6 from both sides: x > 14 This means Julie sold more than 14 items after the first week.
