Question

In five games you score 16 12 15 13 and 17 points. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many points you must score in the sixth game to have an average if at least 15 points

Answer 1

Answer:

x≥17

Step-by-step explanation:

The next game will be game number 6. To get an average of 15 per game you have to have the total amount reached which is 15×6(90). To see how many points you are missing you have to subtract the total points from the first 5 games from 90, so 90- 73. The answer would be 17. so you would have to get 17 points to get an average of at least 15 points per game.
