Can Someone Help Me? really quickly In a certain town the temperature, x in degrees Celsius on a certain day is described by two statements: If 3 times the temperature is increased by 2, the temperature is still less than 14°C. Twice the temperature minus 7 is greater than -11°C. The average temperature in another town is 3°C but the actual temperature is within 4°C of the average. Write and solve an inequality to find the range of temperature in this town

@ganeshie8 you think you could help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part A: Create a compound inequality to represent the temperature range. (3 points) for this i got 3x+2>14 which equals x>4

@jigglypuff314 could you help with the part c part?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

erm, well for A, the inequality should be (temperature) < 14 not > :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says less then?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes, "less than" = < like the wider side wants to eat the bigger number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohkay so its 3x+2<14 so part be is x<4 ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes part A would be x<4 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what about part c?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

x would be between (3-4) and (3+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i just put that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part C: The average temperature in another town is 3°C but the actual temperature is within 4°C of the average. Write and solve an inequality to find the range of temperature in this town. (4 points)

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

you would need to put what I said into inequality form x would be between (3-4) and (3+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

"x would be between (lower number) and (higher number)" -> (lower number) < x < (higher number) so x would be between (3-4) and (3+4) -> ?
