Question

You have 22 digs for your current volleyball season. There are 5 games left in the season. You want to break your previous record of 31 digs in a season. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of digs you must get in the remaining 5 games to break your record.

Answer 1

22 is the number of digs you have so far this season

x will be the number of digs you get in the remaining games.

So, x+22 will be the number of digs you get for the season.

You want this number to be greater than 31 to break your previous record.

So, x+22 > 31is the equation to solve to determine the number of digs for the remainder of the season

x > 31-22. or x > 9.
