1 answer

Sure! Here are the solutions for each question:

Question 1

A) Solve \( x + 15 \geq 3 \): \[ x \geq 3 - 15 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \geq -12 \] Answer: \( x \geq -12 \)

Question 2

A) Solve \( x + 212 < 8 \): \[ x < 8 - 212 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x < -204 \] Answer: \( x < -204 \)

Question 3

A) Willow's graph shows an open circle at 4.5 with a line extending to the left (indicating a "less than" relationship). Therefore, she solved: Response: \( x + 1.25 < 5.75 \)

Question 4

A) Solve \( 5x < 12 \): \[ x < \frac{12}{5} \quad \Rightarrow \quad x < 2.4 \] Answer: \( x < 2.4 \)

Question 5

A) Solve \( 3.4x \geq 23.8 \): \[ x \geq \frac{23.8}{3.4} \approx 7 \] Answer: \( x \geq 7 \)

Question 6

A) Paolo's graph shows an open circle at 4 with a line extending left. Thus, he solved: Response: \( 2.1x < 8.4 \)

Question 7

A) Solve \( 8x - 14 \leq 10 \): \[ 8x \leq 10 + 14 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 8x \leq 24 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \leq 3 \] Answer: \( x \leq 3 \)

Question 8

A) Solve \( 5.14x + 2.25 > 15.1 \): \[ 5.14x > 15.1 - 2.25 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5.14x > 12.85 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x > \frac{12.85}{5.14} \approx 2.5 \] Answer: \( x > 2.5 \)

Question 9

A) Preston's graph indicates a closed point with a line extending right, suggesting he solved: Response: \( 3.4x - 1.2 \geq 4.75 \)

Question 10

A) "Fifteen less than four times a number is more than 49": \[ 4x - 15 > 49 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4x > 64 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x > 16 \] Answer: \( 4x - 15 > 49 \)

Question 11

A) \( 1.2b + 35 < 50 \): \[ 1.2b < 50 - 35 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1.2b < 15 \quad \Rightarrow \quad b < \frac{15}{1.2} \approx 12.5 \] Answer: Youssef can bring 12 books (the whole number).

Question 12

A) Total steps needed: \( 10,000 - 2,500 = 7,500 \) steps over 10 hours: \[ \frac{7500}{10} = 750 \text{ steps per hour} \] Graph: The number line labeled with 750 as a closed point extending right.

Question 13

A) The graph has an open point at 25.60 and extends right: \[ m > 25.6 \] Answer: \( m > 25.6 \)

Question 14

A) Let \( x \) be the number of weeks needed: \[ 65x + 40 \geq 300 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 65x \geq 260 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \geq 4 \] Answer: \( x + 40 \geq 300, \text{ Lily must save for at least } 4 \text{ weeks.} \)

Question 15

A) "Five more than four times a number is less than 25": \[ 4x + 5 < 25 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4x < 20 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x < 5 \] Answer: \( 4x + 5 < 25 \)
