Question

Travis milks his cows each morning. He has never gotten fewer than 3 gallons of milk; however, he always gets fewer than 9 gallons of milk.

Write an inequality to represent each situation. Then, graph the solution.

Answer 1

x-3 < 9

Explanation:

if we know that the liters of milk are 3 or more and less than 9, we have

3=< x <9 where x are the liters of milk.

if we subtract 3 in inequality,

x-3 < 6 with x greater than or equal to 0 because we are talking about a quantity

to solve this inequality, we have to clear x

x < 6+3 = 9 So x < 9 where x belongs to natural numbers
