in five games you score 16/12/15 13 and 17 points. write and solve an inequality to determine how many points you must score in the sixth game to have an average of at least 15 points.

You will need to find the average of the 6 games, then you will use the greater than or equal sign, since you have to have "at least" that score to average 15.
(16 + 12 + 15 + 13 + 17 + x) / 6 ≥ 15

(16+12+15+13+17+p)/(5+1)
\geq15

(73+p)/6
\geq15

73+p
\geq90

p
\geq17
