Question

Addison wants to ride her bicycle more than 80 miles this week. She has already ridden her bicycle 18 miles. Which inequality could be used to determine the mean number of miles,m, she would need to ride her bicycle each day for 6 more days to achieve her goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

6m + 18 > 80

Explanation:

Inequation is a mathematical expression that has the property of expressing inequalities, different from the equation that expresses equality.

The sign used in the equation is the equal symbol (=), in the inequality we will use the following mathematical symbols:

>  greater than

< less than

≥ greater than or equal

≤ less than or equal

In this case, in relation to the question shown above, the inequality that could be used to determine the average number of miles, m, that Addison would need to ride his bike every day for another 6 days to reach his goal would be: 6m + 18 > 80

Answer 2

The inequality is:
18 + 6 x > 80
6 x > 80 - 18
6 x > 62
x > 62 : 6
x > 10.333... miles
She would need to ride her bicycle more than 10 1/3 miles each day to achieve her goal.
