Question

Your baseball team has a goal to collect at least 160 blankets for a shelter. Team members brought 42 blankets on monday and 65 on wednesday . Write and solve an inequality to find out how many blankets the team has to collect on friday?

Answer 1

y=160-(65+42). so it's 53

Answer 2

Atleast 53

Explanation:

We are given that your basketball team has a goal to collect atleast 160 blanket for a shelter.

Team member bought blankets on Monday =42

Team member bought blankets on Wednesday=65

We have to write an inequality and find the number of blankets has to collect on Friday.

Let x be the number of blankets bought by team members on Friday

According to question

`42+65+x \geq 160`

`107+x \geq 160`

Subtract 107 on both sides

`107-107+x\geq 160-107`

`x\geq 53`

Hence, team members bought atleast 53 blankets on Friday .
