Question

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.


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

Part B: Can the temperature in this town be 5°C? Justify your answer by solving the inequalities in Part A. (3 points)

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 ine
