Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week. So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours. Write and solve an inequality to show how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week.

@wio @waterineyes @Directrix @surjithayer @SolomonZelman @saifoo.khan @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is your attempt so far?

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

to set up the inequality

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the information provided is very basic, what does your attempted setup lokk like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what attempt

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

oh i dont have one thats why i need someone to help me set up the inequality

OpenStudy (amistre64):

in your own words, what does the information tell us?

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

so since shes allowed 5 hours of television and shes already watched 1.5 hours she has 3.5 hours left

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, she is allowed at most 5 hours, so she has at most 3.5 left is correct now, we are dealing with hours here so hours <= 5 is the basic information hours watched + hours left to watch should be less than or equal to 5 hours 1.5 + h <= 5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and youve already solved it as: h <= 3.5

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

thx! can you help with more?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

dunno .. im pretty busy at the moment

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

You are a member of your local movie theater's club. Every time you see a movie at the theather, you earn 2 points. When you earn 100 points, you get a free movie pass. Currently, you have 40 points. 1. Write an equation to model the number of movies m you have to watch before you get a free pass. 2. Solve the eqatuion. Show your work

@ParthKohli

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

:I no one?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

2 points per movie would be 2m. You already have 40 points +40. Now, finish the inequality

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

i have 40 + m = 100?

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Almost, 40+2m\(\ge\)100

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

oh thx! sleepy can u help me with one more?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Do you know how to solve it?

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):

yes

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Ok, and yes I can help with one more

OpenStudy (andrewthecookie):
