Question

Xander needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items.

Part A
Choose the inequality and solution to represent the number of cans, c, that Xander must still collect.
A. c + 64 ≤ 120; c ≤ 56
B. c + 120 ≤ 64; c ≤ –56
C. c + 64 ≥ 120; c ≥ 56
D. c + 120 ≥ 64; c ≥ –56

Part B
Choose the graph of the solution on the number line.

Answer 1

part 1: A

part 2: A

Explanation:

Part 1:

I think it is A (c ≤ 56), since it should be less than or equal to, due to it describing how many are left : 56 and less are left

B can't be right even though it is less than or equal to, since it says that -56 cans are left to collect: nonsense

Part 2:

A represents c ≤ 56

C represents c ≤ –56

B represents c ≥ 56

D represents c ≥ –56

thus, answer is A
