Question

In a music competition, a participant has to score a total of 40 points in the first four rounds combined to move on to the 5th and final round. Glen scored 4 points in the first round. He then went on to score additional points in the second, third and forth rounds. In each round he scored the identical points. Which inequality shows the number of points Glen scored.

Answer 1

x ≥ 12

Explanation:

Given that :

Total points required = 40

1st round point = 4

2nd, 3rd and 4th round points are identical

Let the point number of points = x

2nd + 3rd + 4th = 3

1st round + 3(x) ≥ 40

4 + 3x ≥ 40

3x ≥ 40 - 4

3x ≥ 36

x ≥ 12
