At the end of the last quarter, the Monkey Tails were losing by 20 points. The score was 54-34. Each basket is worth 2 points. If the opposing team doesn’t score any more points, which inequality shows the number of baskets, b, the Monkey Tails need to sink to win the game?

34 + 2b > 54
2b > 54 - 34
2b > 20
b > 20/2
b > 10......so they would have to score at least 11 baskets to win
