Question

The basketball team needs to score at least 420 points this season to set a new school record. So far it has scored 82 points. Which inequality represents the number of points that need to be scored to set a record?

Answer 1

Answer:

The required inequality is $(x-82)\geq 420$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of points scored = x

It is given that the team has already scored 82 points.

So, the points left to score are (x-82).

As, the team needs to score at least 420 points.

The inequality representing the situation is given by,

Points to score ≥ 420

i.e. $(x-82)\geq 420$.

Hence, the required inequality is $(x-82)\geq 420$.

Answer 2

Answer:

420≤x -82

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to score at least 420 points.

420≤  x

where x is the score we need to set the record

We have 82 points so far

420≤x -82

We still need to score x-82 points this season
