Tina has $30 of merchandise and needs a minimum $50 purchase to use a coupon. How much more s must she spend?
Answer: s ≥ 20
30 + s ≥ 50 → s ≥ 20.
Which value satisfies 2x − 5 > x + 1 AND x < 10?
Answer: x = 7
2x − 5 > x + 1 → x > 6; combined with x < 10, only x = 7 from the choices works.
Solve for x: 3x/2 − 1 ≤ 5
Answer: x ≤ 4
3x/2 ≤ 6 → x ≤ 4.
If 2x + k > 10 has x = 3 as a solution, which value could k be?
Answer: k = 5
6 + k > 10 → k > 4; only k = 5 satisfies k > 4.
A rectangle's area must exceed 24 square inches. The width is fixed at 4 inches. Which inequality gives the required length L?
Answer: L > 6
4L > 24 → L > 6.
Solve for y: 3 − 2y ≥ y + 12
Answer: y ≤ −3
3 − 12 ≥ 3y → −9 ≥ 3y → y ≤ −3.
Which description represents the solution to |x| ≤ 3?
Answer: All real numbers between −3 and 3, inclusive
|x| ≤ 3 means −3 ≤ x ≤ 3.
