B.

D.

Answer 1

The answer is A. x>13

Answer 2

Answer : A x > 13

The number 13 is less than the number of hours Nathan's volleyball team trains in a week.

Let the number of hours in a week is x

Question says 13 is less than the number of hours

So we can write it as 13 < x

We always put the variable in the left. When we switch the variable then we reverse the inequality sign.

13 < x can be written as x > 13
