Really confused 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 inequality to find the range of temperature in this town. (4 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(a) hey its asking you to convert the word problem into an inequality (1) 3x+2<14 or (2) 2x-7>-11 thats a start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do i convert it into a equality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can substitute inequality sings for = sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so let me see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and solve for your variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -7>-11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are asked for two SEPARATE equations, solve them separately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice profile pic btw :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you just give me answer, kinda in a hurry to get this exam out of the way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im gonna solve the equations u gave me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) pst hey don't mention the E word on here ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should be doing exams solo :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for the first equation it's x<4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and second one it's x>-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so part b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can you help me on b and c please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

part b is justified by x>-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i supposed to solve that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you already solved it the temperature can be greater than -2 according to the second statement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b is a yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't see all of part c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep part b is correct because (2,infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all those question marks are the sign "degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like 3 degrees celcius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think they are asking for something like this -1</ 3 </ 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

less than or equal to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-1\le3\le7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i fan you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they claim 3 is the temp, but the average can be plus or minus four

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1411673379455:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like a number line sorry for the crappy drawing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah it's fine dude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk im goin afk msg me if u need help peace

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok peace

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im gonna leave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

peace
