All of the inequalities that could represent this situation and graph include the following;

A. 2(c + 1) - 50 ≥ 352

B. 310 + c ≤ 3(c - 30)

Next, we would evaluate and solve each of the inequality in order to determine the solutions that matches the graph (number line);

2(c + 1) - 50 ≥ 352

2(c + 1) - 50 - 352 ≥ 352 - 352

2(c + 1) - 402 ≥ 0

2c + 2 - 402 ≥ 0

2c - 400 ≥ 0

2c ≥ 400

c ≥ 200 (Correct inequality)

310 + c ≤ 3(c - 30)

310 + c ≤ 3c - 90

310 + 90 ≤ 3c - c

400 ≤ 2c

c ≥ 200 (Correct inequality)

20(c - 1) ≥ 4000

c - 1 ≥ 200

c ≥ 200 + 1

c ≥ 201 (Inorrect inequality)

5(c + 1) - 200 ≥ 250

5(c + 1) ≥ 250 + 200

5(c + 1) ≥ 450

c + 1 ≥ 90

c ≥ 89 (Inorrect inequality)

50(c - 5) ≥ 200

c - 5 ≥ 4

c ≥ 5 + 4

c ≥ 9 (Inorrect inequality)
