Let's use the variable x to represent the number of goals Merv needs to score in her next game.
To find out how many goals she needs to score in her next game to get scouted, we need to set up an inequality. We know that Merv needs to score an average of at least 4 goals per game, so we can set up the inequality:
[(6 + 1 + 0 + 3 + x) / (4 + 1)] >= 4.
Simplifying the expression on the left side of the inequality:
[10 + x] / 5 >= 4.
Now, let's multiply both sides of the inequality by 5 to get rid of the fraction:
10 + x >= 20.
Next, subtract 10 from both sides of the inequality:
x >= 10.
So, Merv needs to score at least 10 goals in her next game to get scouted.
Merv wants to be a football (American soccer) star. To be scouted by a professional team, she needs to score an average of at least 4 goals per game. Her current stats are 6 goals, 1 goal, no goals, and 3 goals. How many goals does she need to score in her next game to get scouted?

what circle where it point
The circle in the inequality should be a closed circle (or a solid dot) because the condition includes the equal sign.
arrow pointing left or right?
The arrow in the inequality should be pointing to the right because the inequality states that Merv needs to score "at least" 10 goals, which means the value of x (the number of goals she needs to score) must be greater than or equal to 10.
