Question

Will choose Brainliest.
Jessica and Martha each have a bag of cookies with unequal quantities. They have 30 cookies total between the two of them. Each of them ate 6 cookies from their bag. The product of the number of cookies left in each bag is not more than 80.

How many more cookies will Jessica have than Martha?

If x represents the number of cookies Jessica started with, complete the statements below.

The inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has is x^2- _ x + 224 ≥ 0
Jessica has at least
_ cookies more than Martha.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: $x^2-30x+224\geq 0$

Part B: Jessica has at least 2 cookies more than Martha

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 2 question-

Let,

How many more cookies will Jessica have than Martha?If x represents the number of cookies Jessica started with, complete the statements below. Be Part A:

Let,

The inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has is x^2- _ x + 224 ≥ 0 Jessica has at least _ cookies more than Martha.

Be Part B:

Hint:

J=Jessica

30-J=Martha

(J-6)*((30-J)-6)<=80

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solve:

Starting with Part A: Find the inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has

Let,

"x" be the number of cookies when Jessica started

"30-x" be the number of cookies when Martha started

Given us that:

Each of them ate 6 cookies from their bag

Therefore,  

Cookie left in each bag are:

(x-6) which is - Jessica

30 - x - 6 = (24 - x) - Martha

Solution - (x-6)(24-x)

The product of the number of cookies left in each bag is not more than 80.

Thus,

$(x-6)(24-x\leq 80$

$24x-x^2-144+6x\leq 80$

$-x^2+30x-144-80\leq 0$

$-x^2+30x-244\leq 0$

$\mathrm{Multiply\;by\;-1\;both\;sides}$

$x^2-30x+224\leq 0$

Hence, Answer = $x^2-30x+224\leq 0$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solve:

Part B: Solve the quadratic equation:

$\begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:14\le \:x\le \:16\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left[14,\:16\right]\end{bmatrix}$

$\left(x-14\right)\left(x-16\right)\le \:0$

$14\le \:x\le \:16$

The solution is x=16 cookies

Thus, (30-x)=30-16=14 cookies

Now we know that;

The number of cookies when Jessica started was 16 cookies

The number of cookies when Martha started was 14 cookies

So,

The number of cookies left in each bag  is equal to

Jessica:

16-6=10 cookies

Martha:

14-6=8 cookies

10 > 8

As a result, Jessica has at least 2 cookies more than Martha.

Fill in blank for:

The inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has is x^2 - __30__ x +224 >= 0.

Jessica has at least __2__ cookies more than Martha.​
