please help me In a certain town, the wind speed, x, in km/h on a certain day is described by two statements: If 2 times the wind speed is increased by 2, the wind speed is still less than 46 km/h. Twice the wind speed minus 27 is greater than 11 km/h. Part A: Create a compound inequality to represent the wind speed range. (3 points) Part B: Can the wind speed in this town be 20 km/h? Justify your answer by solving the inequalities in Part A. (3 points) Part C: The average wind speed in another town is 23 km/h, but the actual wind speed is within 4 km/h of the average. Write

\[2x+2<46\\2x-27>11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve each of these individually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+2-2<46-2 2x<44 2x/2<44/2 x<22 is that right forr the first one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah first one gives \(x<22\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and second one 2x-27>11 2x-27+27>11+27 2x>38 2x/2>38/2 x>19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[19<x<22\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so that would be the answer to part one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes don't be so shocked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i put both inequalitys and then that other thing for part a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually the answer to part one is just this \[2x+2<46\\2x-27>11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

stick an "and" between them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but to do part two you have to solve them, which you did to get \[19<x<22\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright and part c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in part B the real answer is "yes" since 20 fits that inequality as for part C it is illegible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part C: The average wind speed in another town is 23 km/h, but the actual wind speed is within 4 km/h of the average. Write and solve an inequality to find the range of wind speed in this town. (4 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need part C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh he already helpd you u gotta do the rest lol he is mod rules are rules we cant do everything for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u cant even just give me the problem and then i solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry bud

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u busting my balls again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh damn
