Question

I will medal!!!
Write and solve an inequality to model the situation.

It will take at least 360 points for Kiko's team to win the math contest. The scores for Kiko's teammates were 94, 82, and 87, but one of Kiko's teammates lost 2 of those points for an incomplete answer. How many points must Kiko earn for her team to win the contest?

Answer 1

"At least 360" means 360 or more. That is also "greater than or equal to 360."
All the points plus the new score, x, added up must be greater than or equal to 360.
\(94 + 82 + 87 - 2 + x \ge 360\)
First, add all the numbers on the left side.
Then subtract that number form both sides.

Answer 2

so 263 - what??

Answer 3

Ok so far?
