Answer 1

Answer:

$x \geq 1.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

On a fishing trip, you catch two fish.

The weight of the first fish is 1.2 pounds.

The second fish weighs at least 0.5 pound more than the first fish.

Let the weight of the second fish be = x

The inequality representing the weight of the second fish is :

$x \geq 1.2+0.5$

= $x \geq 1.7$

Answer 2

The possible weight of the second fish is 1.2 +0.5=W
