Answer 1

In Ms. Johnson's class a student will get 3 points for

having their name on their paper and 4 points for each

question that is correct. In Mr. Gallegos class, a student

will get 7 points for having their name on their paper and

2 points for each question correct. Which inequality

could be used to determine x, the number of questions

that would give you a higher grade in Ms. Johnson's

class?

we have

Ms. Johnson's class

3+4x

Mr. Gallegos class

7+2x

so

the inequality is given by

3+4x > 7+2x

solve for x

4x-2x > 7-3

2x>4

x> 2

the number of question must be greater than 2
