Question

A student in a club has committed to attend at least 9 community service events in a school year. If they have already attended 2 events, which inequality models the amount of events they will attend for the rest of the year?

Options:
Option 1: 9 - 2 > x
Option 2: 2 + x ≥ 9
Option 3: 2x ≤ 9
Option 4: x + 2 < 9

Answer 1

The correct inequality that models the amount of events the student will attend for the rest of the year is Option 2: 2 + x ≥ 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct inequality that models the amount of events the student will attend for the rest of the year is x ≥ Option 2: 2 + 9.

This inequality represents the fact that the student has already attended 2 events and is committed to attending at least 9 events. By adding the number of events the student will attend (represented by x) to the initial 2 events, it ensures that the total number of events attended is greater than or equal to 9.
