Let x = points she still needs.
235 + x > 462
x > 227

The highest score ever was 462. Assuming points can only be counted as integers, 463 (one point higher than the previous record) is the total number of points the basketball player needs to break the record.
463 - 235 = 228

462 - 235 + 1= 228
you have to add 1 to the equation because she has to get more to beat the record. if u just subtract 235 from 462 u would just get how much she need to get to the same score but to beat the score she has to get 1 more so u have to add 1

462-235=227 so 228 to break the record. Maria needs to work a lot harder.

x=(462+1)-235.
x=463-235
x = 228
Forget my answer... Up_Scope is right. You said it needed to be in the form of an inequality. Go with the answer below mine.
