Question

You downloaded a video game to your computer. You have a 60-minute free trial of the game. It takes 5 minutes to set up the game and 7 minutes to play each level. You want to find out how many levels you can play for free. Let l represent the number of levels played. Write an inequality to determine the number of levels you can play in 60 minutes.

Answer 1

`5+7l\leq 60`

Explanation:

Time for setting up the game = 5 minutes

Time to play each level = 7 minutes

Let l represent the number of levels played.

So, Time to play l levels = 7l

So, total time =
`5+7l`

Now we are required to Write an inequality to determine the number of levels you can play in 60 minutes.

So, the inequality becomes :

`5+7l\leq 60`

Hence an inequality to determine the number of levels you can play in 60 minutes is
`5+7l\leq 60`
