Question

Kylie is training for an upcoming marathon and has committed to running
more than 21 miles today. If she runs from her house, she can run along two
loops: a short path that is 3 miles in length, and a long path that is 6 miles in
length. Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. (x
= the number of loops on the short path, y = the number of loops on the long
path).

Answer 1

Answer: 3x+6y > 21

Step-by-step explanation:

total distance kylie runs is the combined amount of loops from both paths. 3x represents however many loops she runs times the length of the short path. 6y represents however many loops she runs times the long path. Both of them have to add up and be greater than 21.
