5x - 33 > 73
D.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Its like process of elimination for me to be honest.

Answer 2

Answer:

B: 5x+30>7

Step-by-step explanation:

he situation can be modeled by a linear inequality of the form px + q > r, where p is the number of miles Tammy runs per day, q is the number of miles Tammy has already run, and r is the total number of miles she needs to run more than.

In this case, p = 5, q = 30, and r = 70.

Therefore, the following inequality can be used to solve for x, the number of days Tammy still needs to run to reach her fitness goals.

5x + 30 > 70
