Answer 1

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


1.If 3 times the air pressure is increased by 2, the pressure is still less than 92 inches.
2.Twice the air pressure minus 39 is greater than 11 inches.


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

Part B: Can the air pressure in this town be 24 inches? Justify your answer by solving the inequalities in Part A. (3 points)

Part C: The average air pressure in another town is 29 inches, but the actual pressure is within 4 inches of the average. Write and solve an inequality to find the range of air pressure in this town. (4 points)

Answer 2

Part A: 3x+2<92
subtract 2 to both sides and we'll get 3x<90 and then divide 3 to both sides and x<30
2x-39>11
add 39 to both sides and we'll get 2x>50 and the divide 2 to both sides and we'll get x>25
Part B: No, because when we solved the inequality we got x>25 and x<30 so it is not possible that air pressure would be 24 inches.
lol I know its too late but.... :D XD
