Question

for his cross country team, Liam needs to run at least 27 miles this week. On sunday he ran 3 miles. write and solve an inequality to determine how many miles he must average on each of the remaining 6 days this week

Answer 1

Answer: 3 + 6x ≥ 27

x ≥ 4

Explanation:

Subtract 3 from both sides to get

6x ≥ 24

Divide both sides by 6, since 6 is positive, the inequality remains the same.

x ≥ 24/6

24 divided by 6 equals 4.

x ≥ 4
