Let's solve the problem step by step.
1. Let's assume there are 'x' students in the class.
2. The first teacher's books are not enough for the students, so she needs 24 more books. This means the number of books she has is 'x - 24'.
3. The second teacher's books are also not enough for the students, and she needs 1 more book. This means the number of books she has is 'x - 1'.
4. Together, the two teachers do not have enough books to give to the students. So we can add the number of books they have: 'x - 24 + x - 1'.
5. This total number of books should be greater than or equal to the number of students 'x'. So we can write the inequality: 'x - 24 + x - 1 >= x'.
6. Simplifying the inequality: '2x - 25 >= x'.
7. Subtracting 'x' from both sides: 'x >= 25'.
Therefore, there are at least 25 students in the class to ensure that both teachers have enough books to give to the students.
