Question

1. The inequality s 292 represents the score s that

Jared must earn on his next test to get an A on his
report card. Give two possible scores that Jared
could earn to get the A.

Answer 1

92 or 103

Explanation:

"
`\geq`" means that the number or expression before is equal or greater than the number or expression after it.

Some examples:

`5 \geq 5` (5 is equal to 5 and therefor its true)

`5 \geq 3` (this is true since 5 is greater than 3)

Let's do some problem-solving:

`x + 5 \geq 7` (Lets do some simple equations just like when its and equal sign)

`x+5 - 5 \geq 7 -5` (in order to get x alone, we have to subtract both sides by 5)

`x \geq 2` (this leaves us with
`x \geq 2`, which means that x could be anything as long as it's greater or equal to 2)

So if we go back to
`s \geq 92`, which tells us that s is anything that is greater or equal to 92. It could be 100, 92, 92.000001, or even 999999999.

The question wants us to name two numbers that is greater or equal to 92. So I said these two numbers: 92 and 103

Which is indeed greater or equal to 92.
