Question

Billy is helping to make pizzas for a school function. He's made 25 pizzas so far. His principal asked him to make at least 30 pizzas but no more than 75. Solve the compound inequality and interpret the solution.

30 ≤ x + 25 ≤ 75

Answer 1

Answer: Number of pizzas would be less than 5 but not more than 50.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pizzas so far = 25

His principal asked him to make at least 30 pizzas but no more than 75.

According to question, we have

30 ≤ x + 25 ≤ 75

First we subtract 25 from both the sides:

`30-25\leq x \leq 75-25\\\\=5\leq x\leq 50`

Hence, number of pizzas would be less than 5 but not more than 50.
