Question

Think of an activity that you enjoy or are interested in. Some examples are reading, swimming, or leveling up your gaming character. Use your activity to work through the following problems:

Create a scenario that leads to an inequality of the form ax + b > c. You can use any of the inequality symbols (>, ≥, <, ≤) in your inequality. For this step, just write the word problem.
Write the inequality and show all work to solve the inequality.
Graph the solution to your inequality on a number line.
Explain what your solution means in the context of the problem.

please help!!!!!! :) @dtan5457

Answer 7

how about you think of the activity, and i help you with the inequality

Answer 8

ok! :)
@dtan5457

Answer 9

Answer 11

i want to do volleyball :)

Answer 12

please help!

Answer 13

lets start with step 1 :)

Answer 14

ok, well while i don't know much about volleyball.

you can pretty much make any inequality to be ax+b>c

i can give an example

c=total goals

b=score started with 9 (because let's say, you want to continue a game)

ax=2 points per goal, let's say

c=winning score has to be greater than 45

2x+9>45

Answer 15

ok , so what activity do you know about?
@dtan5457

Answer 16

my example that i just stated will work.

Answer 17

ok so whats the word problem?

Answer 18

you can write

me and my friends were playing a volley ball match. It was 9-0 in our last game, but we never finished. we will continue from 9-0. (1 point from a one time in game penalty). Each score otherwise is 2 points. to win, you must get a greater score then 45

Answer 19

ok and then whats the inequality.
@dtan5457

Answer 20

2x+9>45

Answer 21

ok and then i just solve that

Answer 22

@dtan5457

Answer 23

Answer 24

sure, if they ask you too.

Answer 25

can you help me graph the solution to the inequality on a number line.
@mathstudent55 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@MikeyMaximum

Answer 30

set up a scenario first, I recommend two teams playing and one going on a kill streak

Answer 31

assign points, and then set up the inequality

Answer 32

can you help me do that please?

Answer 33

hellooo ?
can you help me please? :)

Answer 34

@GretaKnows
can you help me graph the solution to the inequality on a number line? :)

Answer 35

well, come up with something then make it fit your criteria

Answer 36

i dont understand

Answer 37

@GretaKnows

Answer 38

help!

Answer 39

2x+9>45

if you are gonna use my scenario, all you gotta do is solve for x

Answer 40

then graphing is relatively easy, just use a open circle > whatever it becomes

Answer 41

Sorry I wasn't by my computer!

Answer 42

@dtan5457

Answer 43

can you help me do the graph please :)

Answer 44

did you solve for x?

Answer 45

yes

Answer 46

what is it?

Answer 47

i got x > 18

Answer 48

good!
