Question

If Jerry exceeds the speed limit of 65 miles per hour, he runs the risk of receiving a speeding ticket. If represents Jerry's speed, which inequality represents this situation?

A.x _65
C.x 65

Answer 1

Answer: Choice D) x > 65

If x is his speed, and the speed limit is 65 mph, then the inequality
`x > 65` represents him going over the speed limit.

The inequality
`x \le 65` is when Jerry isn't over the speed limit (so he's going either 65 mph or slower than this).
