Question

Xander needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items.

Part A
Choose the inequality and solution to represent the number of cans, x, that Xander must still collect.
x + 64 ≤ 120; x ≤ 56
x + 120 ≤ 64; x ≤ –56
x + 64 ≥ 120; x ≥ 56
x + 120 ≥ 64; x ≥ –56

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be the number of cans Xander still needs to collect. Then

x + 64 ≥ 120 (his 64 already collected + the amount still needed

must be at least 120)

So x ≥ 56 (He must collect at least 56 more cans)
