Question

Help asap!!!

Answer 1

In a certain town, the inches of rainfall, x, on a certain day is described by two statements:


If 3 times the rainfall is increased by 2, the rainfall is still less than 26 inches.
5 plus twice the rainfall is greater than 11 inches.


Part A: Create a compound inequality to represent the rainfall range. (3 points)

x = 3 x 2 < 26
x = 5 x 2 > 11

Answer 2

Is that right??

Answer 3

ok this is something I love to do so I will help with this but I will not just give the answer I am going to help you learn

Answer 4

I like learning :D

Answer 5

ok good

Answer 6

this is quiet easy you were so close on both

Answer 7

So does this mean my inequalities are not right?

Answer 8

they were almost right you miss placed a few things

Answer 9

when it says 3 times the rainfall or twice the rainfall that is where you mainly fell off track it says the rainfall is x which means if they put 3 times the rainfall you put 3x or if they put twice the rainfall you put 2x

Answer 10

I am going to give you a practice for this so if they put 4 times the rainfall what would you put

Answer 11

multiplication right?

Answer 12

right

Answer 13

shoot :D

Answer 14

what is wrong?

Answer 15

nothing i was saying shoot like give me the problem im ready..

Answer 16

Ok so the problem I was going to give you is if they say 4 times x what would you put

Answer 17

4 * x

Answer 18

Is this better?
x = 3 x 2 < 26
x = 5 + 2x > 11

Answer 19

3x * 2 < 26

Answer 20

no not quit to the question I posted for you when any question pops up and it says a number times a variable which is a letter in math it is always that number with the variable right next to it on the right

Answer 21

so 4x?

Answer 22

and yes to the 5+2x>11 but for 3x*2<26 not quiet when they put increase by a number you add and they said increase by 2

Answer 23

increase is addition???

Answer 24

so 3x + 2 < 26

Answer 25

yes that is it now do you have any answer choices?

Answer 26

no\Part B: Can the rainfall in this town be 4 inches? Justify your answer by solving the inequalities in Part A. (3 points)

Answer 27

so im guessing
3x + 2 < 26
-2 -2
3x < 24
x > 8?

Answer 28

And
5 + 2x > 11
-5 -5
2x > 6
/2 /2
x < 3

Answer 29

ok no when they say can the rainfall in this twn be 4 they want you to take the problems we just made and make the x 4 we do not use the equations to mess with each other so now our equations look like

3(4)+2<26

and

5+2(4)>11

Answer 30

12 + 2 < 26
5+8 = 13?

Answer 31

where did the =13 come from?

Answer 32

5 + 8

Answer 33

13 > 11

Answer 34

My test is almost timed out please help...

Answer 35

yeah ok I see it

Answer 36

now the last part
Part C: The average rainfall in another town is 5 inches but the actual rainfall is within 4 inches of the average. Write and solve an inequality to find the range of rainfall height in this town. (4 points)

Answer 37

ok so now when we do all of the steps it comes out that yes 4in can be the average in the town

Answer 38

yea.

Answer 39

ok and I am not sure what to do on the second one

Answer 40

@iambatman come please.

Answer 41

Hi :o

Answer 42

i need help with part c...

Answer 43

5-4< actual rainfall < 5 + 4

Answer 44

5 - 4 < 5 + 4?

Answer 45

Well you need the actual rainfall so you can just treat that as x, 5 - 4 < x < 5 +4

Answer 46

5 - 4 < x < 5 + 4...thats what i put as the answer?

Answer 47

I have to solve it too...

Answer 48

What do i plug in?

Answer 49

is this good?
1 < 4 < 9

Answer 50

No that has no meaning, just leave it as 1 < x < 9

Answer 51

All you're saying is one number is less than another there.
