Question

HELP ME FAST PLEASE :(

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.

Answer 1

I like harry potter, and youtube for interests but it could be one im not interested in.

Answer 2

i just really need help i will fan anyone that helps and medal

Answer 3

@phi

Answer 4

this is my last assessment in math so please help

Answer 5

***I like harry potter, and youtube ***

how about (for example), I watch more than 3 youtube vidoes
a day

Answer 6

okay yes

Answer 7

im pretty new on all this inequality stuff so it might take a bit longer for me to understand

Answer 8

they want
ax + b > c.

I am thinking, make c minutes you watch youtube per day
x could # of videos
a could be the average length of a video, 5 minutes (we make that up)

b is the amount of time it takes to long onto youtube, say 1 minute
and c is say 30 minutes (you spend at least 30 minutes)

so
5 x + 1 > 30
where x is the number of videos you watch,

Answer 9

though, because you have to solve this, I would tweak then numbers, say
5 x + 5 > 30
(assume it takes 5 minutes to log in and find the videos you want to watch)
the 5 will make it easier to solve.

Answer 10

Okay so what does the x do after the 5

Answer 11

nevermind

Answer 12

okay im almost done noting all this into my document

Answer 13

sorry, OS is not up to snuff today.
make a note
x is the number of videos you watch in a day

each video is 5 minutes long
it takes 5 minutes to log onto youtube and find the videos you are going to watch
the amount of time watch videos is
5x + 5

you watch at least 30 minutes. we write that like this
5x + 5 > 30 minutes

that is your relation

they want you to "solve for x"
(i.e. x > something)

Answer 14

okay i wrote everything down and im almost done

Answer 15

the last thing i need is to solve it out

Answer 16

first add -5 to both sides,
that means write -5 on both sides
then simplify
what do you get ?

Answer 17

i dont know how to simplify

Answer 18

what do you have so far ? (before simplifying)

Answer 19

so like this?

-5 + 5x + 5 > 30 + -5

Answer 20

on the right side you have 30 + -5
any idea what that is ?

Answer 21

25

Answer 22

ok. and on the left side you have a +5 and a -5
(we change change the order when adding things, right?, so we could write it
+5 + -5 + 5x = 25

what do +5 and -5 add up to ?

Answer 23

5 right?

Answer 24

you have 5 apples take away 5 apples, how many apples do you have ?

Answer 25

+5+ -5 = ?

Answer 26

ohh ok so you dont add a 5

Answer 27

0

Answer 28

yes, so now you have
0+5x > 25

on the left adding 0 to anything (even 5x) gives back the anything
examples: 0+1 =1, 0+2 =2, and 0 + 5x = 5x

so
5x > 25

Answer 29

now divide both sides by 5

Answer 30

divide both sides of the 0+5x > 25?

Answer 31

5x/5 >25/5

on the left 5/5 is 1
so
1x> 25/5
or simply
x > 5

that means you watch more than 5 videos per day

Answer 32

***divide both sides of the 0+5x > 25?***
yes, but notice that 0+5x simplifies to just 5x

so divide both sides of
5x>25
by 5

Answer 33

for this part
Graph the solution to your inequality on a number line.

a number line is a line, with the numbers marked off, 1,2,3, like on a ruler

put an open circle at 5
and draw a line starting at the circle going to the right (toward the bigger numbers)
put an arrow on it.
