Question

In a certain town, the inches of rainfall, x, on a certain day is described by two statements:
1. If 3 times the rainfall is increased by 2, the rainfall is still less than 26 inches.
2. 5 plus twice the rainfall is greater than 11 inches.
Part A: Create a compound inequality to represent the rainfall range. (3 points)
Part B: Can the rainfall in this town be 4 inches? Justify your answer by solving the inequalities in Part A.
Part C: The average rainfall in another town is 5 inches, but the actual rainfall is within 4 inches of the average. Write and solve an inequality to find the range

Answer 1

A: 3x+2<26
2x+5>11
3<x<8

B:solve for x
3x+2<26;x=8
2x+5>11;x=3

C:x-4 < 5;x<9
x+4 >5;x>1
1<x<9

Answer 2

thnx :)
