What WORD best expresses the solution to each equation/inequality? (You're solving for x, y, and n.)
  1.   1863 – 1776 = 4x + 7      Answer: SCORE ("four score and seven years ago...")
  2.   (1/2)·🍞 > y      Answer: NONE ("half a loaf is better than none")
  3.    = n·"hedgehog"      Answer: THOUSAND ("a picture is worth a thousand words")

Hats off to Josh Moore for solving all three parts (and suggesting an alternative answer to (b), "one loaf in the bush")!
