Question

Misty needs to gather at least 20 flags for the parade. She has already gathered 6 flags. The inequality shown can be used to find n, the number of flags Misty still needs. n + 6 > 20 Which inequality represents the solution set for this situation? F n < 26 G n > 26 H n < 14 J n > 14

Answer 1

Answer:
`n>14`

Explanation:

Given

Misty needs to gather at least 20 flags for the parade

She has already gathered 6 flags

Inequality to find the number of flags needed is

`n+6>20`

Subtract -6 from both sides

`\Rightarrow n+6-6>20-6\\\Rightarrow n>14`

Therefore, option (j) is correct.
