Kim's softball team was playing in the championship game. When there were 4 innings left, the team was losing by a score of 17 to 6 points. In the last 4 innings, her team scored the same number of points per inning, and the other team did not score any more points. Kim's team won with the most points.
Write an inequality to determine the number of points per inning, ppp, Kim's team could have scored.

Question

it's supposed to be just one p, not three

AngeI · Answer

If they have 6, and they need to get more than 17 points in 4 innings you would need at least 3 points per inning.
3*4=12+6 to get 18
So you would write an inequality off of this
