Question

When rounded to the nearest thousand, 15,000 soft pretzels were

sold during the game at PNC Park. Write three numbers that could
represent the number of soft pretzels sold.

Answer 1

More practically, MORE than $150 is wanted so the answer is 3x-x+2=4

Explanation:

Any choice of WHOLE NUMBER divisible by 3 will work for x to give a whole number for y, for acceptable points ON the line; but points found ABOVE the line with whole number coordinates would also be acceptable for this INEQUALITY problem. As example, do you understand that x=27, y=11, will work? It is just one of many, many possible solutions.
