Question

In a trivia contest, players form teams and work together to earn as many points as possible for their team. Each team can have between 3 and 5 players. Each player can score up to 10 points in each round of the game. Elena and four of her friends decided to form a team and play a round.Write an expression, an equation, or an inequality for the following description. If you use a variable, specify what it represents.the number of players in a game if there are at least 3 teams

Answer 1

We are given the following data:

Every team can have between 3 and 5. This means that the minimum number of players is 3 and the maximum is 5.

We are also told to write an expression that can be used to represent the number of players if there are at least 3 teams.

To go about this

Let us consider that the minimum each team can have is 3.

If there are 3 teams, the minimum possible player is given by

$3\times3=9$

Thus, if we represent the possible number of players with x, we will have inequality

$x\ge9$
