Question

At trivia night, players form teams and work together to earn as many pointsas possible for their team. Each team can have 3-5 players. Each player canscore up to 10 points in each round of the game. Deborah and four of herfriends join as a team to play a round at trivia night.Write an expression, an equation, or an inequality for each quantity describedhere. If you use a variable, specify what it represents.Write an expression, an equation, or an inequality to represent the numberof points that Deborah's team earns in one round. *

Answer 1

We need to write an inequality to express the number of points that Deborah's team earns in one round.

Since each player can score up to 10 points, and this team has 5 players (Deborah and four of her friends), the points x that this team earns satisfy the following:

x ≤ 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 (a maximum of 10 for each player)

x ≤ 50

Now, we need to write an expression to represent the number of points this team earns if each player misses one point.

Since each of the players can score up to 10 points, if each of them misses one point, each one will score 9 points (assuming that "missing one point" means the player will score all the other possible points).

Thus, the number of points the team earns, in this case, is given by the expression:

9+9+9+9+9

The number of players i
