Answer:
The inequality is : [tex]0\leq x<17000[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the amount of a bid.
The winning bid was $17,000.
Now we know that the wining bid must have been the highest value bid and all other bids or b are smaller than the winning bid.
Therefore, the inequality that represents the amounts of all the losing bids is : [tex]0\leq x<17000[/tex]
