to win a game you need at least 45 points. Each question is worth three points. Right and solve an inequality that represents the number of questions you need to answer correctly to win the game

Answer 1

If we let x represent the number of questions you need to answer correctly, then we can write the following to show the points earned for each correct question: 3x

To win the game , 45 points are need so 3x must always be equal to or greater than 45:

3x > 45

To solve , divide both sides of the inequality by 3:

3x > 45

3x/3 > 45/3

x > 15

This means that you must answer at least 15 questions correctly. Any number greater than 15 is also good.
