The sum of two positive integers, a and b, is at least 30. The difference of the two integers is at least 10. If b is the greater integer, which system of inequalities could represent the values of a and b?

A. a + b ≥ 30 b ≥ a + 10
B.a + b ≥ 30 b ≤ a – 10
c. a + b ≤ 30 b ≥ a + 10
D. a + b ≤ 30 b ≤ a – 10

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. If b is the greater integer, then the system of inequalities that could represent the values of a and b would be a + b ≥ 30 and b ≥ a + 10. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
