Question

4. Joel can build up to three bookshelves a week. This can be represented by the

inequality 3 = x. Which TWO statements are true?
a. Joel can build 2 bookshelves in a week.
b. Joel can build 3 bookshelves in a week.
c. Joel can build 4 bookshelves in a week.
d. Joel can build 5 bookshelves in a week.

Answer 1

a. Joel can build 2 bookshelves in a week.

b. Joel can build 3 bookshelves in a week.

Explanation:

I believe the inequality you wanted to post is:

3 ≥ x

This can be implied because of the answer choices. It is a given that x can equal 3, as ≥ means "greater than or equal too", or 3 is greater than or equal to x. Therefore, B is a definitive answer choice. Since it asks for 2 statements, it can only be A that is the other answer choice, as, if it is implied that 3 is less than or equal to x, then there will be 3 answer choices. Therefore, A & B is your answer.
