Question

Your baseball team has a goal to collect at least 160 blankets for a shelter. Team members brought 42 blankets on monday and 65 on wednesday . Write and solve an inequality to find out how many blankets the team has to collect on friday?

Answer 1

Answer:

Atleast 53

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that your basketball team has a goal  to collect atleast 160 blanket for a shelter.

Team member bought blankets on Monday =42

Team member bought blankets on Wednesday=65

We have to write an inequality and find the number of blankets  has to collect on Friday.

Let x be the number of blankets  bought by team members on Friday

According to question

$42+65+x \geq 160$

$107+x \geq 160$

Subtract 107 on both sides

$107-107+x\geq 160-107$

$x\geq 53$

Hence, team members bought atleast 53 blankets on Friday .

Answer 2

Y=160-(65+42). so it's 53
