Question

. An exam has two sections: a multiple choice section and an essay. You can score a maximum of 100 points. To pass the test, you must get at least 65 points on the essay. Write a system of inequalities to model passing scores. Then graph the system. I am confused on writing the inequalities

Answer 1

this is the way I think about this question. the largest value possible for test score is 100 points. You must get at least, the lowest possible value, 65 points. your score is x. 100 and 65 are your bounds.

Answer 2

you must know that you can also get exactly 100 point or exactly 65 points

Answer 3

so like, x+y is less than or equal to 100?

Answer 4

yes,
x must be between the number but also equal to them so you will be using the greater to or equal to and lesser than or equal as so:
\[65\le x \le 100\]

Answer 5

I hope you understand?

Answer 6

yeah I think I got it . Thank you:)

Answer 7
