Carmen is taking a road trip. After 25 miles, she reaches a stretch of highway where hour. Carmen's friend in the passenger seat is trying to figure out the minimum num 350 total miles for the trip, assuming she keeps a steady pace. Carmen's friend creates the inequality 65t + 25 > 350, where t is the driving time, in What statement is the most accurate? O P Carmen can meet her goal in less than 5 hours. Carmen needs more than 6 hours to meet her goal. Carmen can meet her goal in less than 4 hours. Carmen needs more than 5 hours to meet her goal. Submit​

Answer 1

"Carmen needs more than 5 hours to meet her goal."

Explanation:

The inequality 65t + 25 > 350 represents the relationship between Carmen's driving time (t) and the distance she drives (which should be greater than or equal to 350 miles).

The first step in solving this inequality is to isolate "t" on one side of the inequality sign. So, you can subtract 25 from both sides to get:

65t > 325

Now, divide both sides of the inequality by 65 to get:

t > 5

This means that Carmen's driving time must be greater than 5 hours for her to drive at least 350 miles, assuming she maintains a steady pace. Therefore, the most accurate statement is "Carmen needs more than 5 hours to meet her goal."
