Question

Tammy must run more than 73 miles total to reach her fitness goals. She has already run 33 miles and runs 5 miles per day. Which of the following inequalities could be used to solve for x, the number of days Tammy needs to run to reach her fitness goals?

A.
5x + 33 > 73
B.
5x > 73
C.
5x - 33 > 73
D.
5x > 33

Answer 1

B: 5x+30>7

Explanation:

he situation can be modeled by a linear inequality of the form px + q > r, where p is the number of miles Tammy runs per day, q is the number of miles Tammy has already run, and r is the total number of miles she needs to run more than.

In this case, p = 5, q = 30, and r = 70.

Therefore, the following inequality can be used to solve for x, the number of days Tammy still needs to run to reach her fitness goals.

5x + 30 > 70

Answer 2

A
