Question

On a final exam, each multiple-choice question is worth 4 points and each word problem is worth 8 points. Lorenzo needs at least 50 points on the final to earn a "B" in the class. Which inequality represents x, the number of correct multiple-choice questions, and y, the number of correct word problems, he needs to earn a "B"?

4x + 8y < 50
4x + 8y ≤ 50
4x + 8y > 50
4x + 8y ≥ 50

Answer 1

That answer is correct

Answer 2

Answer:4x+8y≥50

Step-by-step explanation: In order for Lorenzo to get a "B" he needs to get more than 50, or a least 50. This takes out anything less than or equal to 50. However, since it can be at least 50, this means it has to be greater than or equal to 50.
