Question

In a certain town, the inches of rainfall, x, on a certain day is described by two statements:
1.If 3 times the rainfall is increased by 2, the rainfall is still less than 26 inches.
2.5 plus twice the rainfall is greater than 11 inches.
Part A: Create a compound inequality to represent the rainfall range. (3 points)
Part B: Can the rainfall in this town be 4 inches? Justify your answer by solving the inequalities in Part A. (3 points)
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

Answer 1

Can someone help im really bad at setting up inequalities!!

Answer 2

Answer 3

I got 2 different inequalities out of it. but I need to make a compound inequality out of it. can someone help?
inequality 1: 3r+2is less than 26
inequality 2: 2r+5 is greater than 11
@Orion1213 please??????? I need help!!!!

Answer 6

I will fan and give a medal

Answer 7

have u tried solving for r first... then evaluate the inequality for both case...?

Answer 8

no I haven't let me do that real quick

Answer 9

now I got r is less then 8 and r is greater than 3

Answer 10

but how do I make it all a compound inequality??

Answer 11

what should be the range of r to satisfy both inequality?

Answer 12

3<r<8

Answer 13

so it was that easy?????
oh yeah I guess I can see it

Answer 14

can someone help me ?

Answer 15

is that right @study100

Answer 16

sure if I can. whats your question @joftheworld

Answer 17

that's far i can go to help you... using both inequalities you can determine the range of values that you can use to satisfy both inequalities... and that is called compound inequalities...

Answer 18

ok thank you

Answer 19

@ganeshie8 can you tell me if he told me right or wrong? I really need help with this
