Question

Step by step explanation please.

Make an equation and inequality.

thanks

Answer 1

x greater than or equal to 26

Explanation:

18 + 24 + 32 = 74

74/3 = Average

Average = 24.6667

To get an average of at least 25 points by next game he needs to get to 100 points because 100/4= 25

So:

100-74=26

And anything that is 26 or greater will make his average at least 25 points.
