Question

Jose has scored 562 points on his math test so far this this semester. To get an A for the semester, he must score at least 650 points. Write and solve an inequality to find the minimum number of points he must score on the remaining tests in order to get an A

Answer 1

562 + x ≥ 650

x ≥ 88

Explanation:

He has 562 points. He needs x points to get an A. He must get at least 60 points to get an A.

562 + x ≥ 650

To solve this, we subtract 562 from each side

562-562 + x ≥ 650-562

x ≥ 650-562

x ≥ 88
