Question

you need to score at least 1500 points on your new video game to obtain the high score. You get 300 points after completing each level. Write and solve an inequality to find the number of levels you must beat in order to obtain the high score. A. x>5 or B. x≥5​

Answer 1

Option B: x ≥ 5 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given that:

Points needed to obtain high score = 1500 points

Points earned after completing each level = 300 points

Let,

x be the number of levels.

We will use greater than equal to inequality because minimum of 1500 points are needed to obtain high score.

300x ≥ 1500

Dividing both sides by 300

`(300x)/(300)\geq (1500)/(300)\\`

x ≥ 5

You must beat 5 or more levels in order to obtain the high score.

Hence,

Option B: x ≥ 5 is the correct answer.
