Question
Samuel played a video game. He gained some points, lost 87 points, and finished with less than 320 points. Which of the following inequality represents the given situation?
n - 87 < 320
n + 87 < 320
n - 87 = 320
n + 87 = 320
n - 87 < 320
n + 87 < 320
n - 87 = 320
n + 87 = 320

To represent the situation where Samuel gained some points, lost 87 points, and finished with less than 320 points, we can define \( n \) as the total points he had before losing those points.
The equation representing his points after losing 87 points can be written as:
\[ n - 87 \]
Since he finished with less than 320 points, we can set up the inequality:
\[ n - 87 < 320 \]
Therefore, the correct inequality that represents the situation is:
\[ n - 87 < 320 \]
