Question

Sandy sold 22 tickets, which was at least 6 more than twice the number of tickets that Teresa sold. This can be represented by this inequality, where t represents the number of tickets Teresa sold.

Which could be a number of tickets that Teresa sold?
17
11
7
14

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

Let 'x' represent the number of tickets that Teresa sold, and x is integer and x>=0 (you can not sell negative number of tickets)

6 + 2x < 22

x < 8

The range of possible number of tickets that Teresa sold is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.
