Answer:
D) 3x + 15 ≥ 300
Explanation:
The rectangle must have a area of AT LEAST 300 square ft, or 300 or greater. Use the greater than or equal sign: ≥ 300.
Note that your are solving for the area, and that this shape is a rectangle. To get the area of the rectangle, simply multiply length and width:
(3) * (x + 5) = Area of rectangle.
Distribute the 3 to all terms:
3(x + 5) = 3x + 15 = Area of rectangle.
Put the two parts together:
3x + 15 ≥ 300.
