Question

Peter plays basketball. In one game, he needs to score at least 38 points to have a

season high of 1,200 points. He scores x number of 2 pointers and y number of 3
pointers and meets his goal of at least 38 points.
Using the variables given, write an inequality describing this scenario.

Answer 1

2x + 3y > 38

I am currently on mobile, but the > should have a solid line beneath. I know that 2x + 3y needs to be greater than or equal to 38, since if he scores less than 38 points he won’t meet his season high of 1,200.
