Janna is playing an online trivia game. she has 50 points and earns 2 points for each correct answer. she will advance to the next round if her score is over 68 points. modeled in an inequality

Answer 1

To model Janna's situation in an inequality, we can represent her current score and the points she earns from correctly answering questions.

Let \( x \) be the number of correct answers Janna gives. Each correct answer gives her 2 points, so her total score after answering \( x \) questions would be \( 50 + 2x \).

Janna needs her score to be greater than 68 points to advance to the next round. We can set up the inequality as follows:

\[ 50 + 2x > 68 \]

This inequality shows the relationship between the number of correct answers \( x \) and the points required to advance to the next round.
