Answer:

-38 - 12x < 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original elevation = -38 feet,

Also, the explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute.

So, the distance covered by explorer after x minutes = -12x feet,

Thus, the final elevation = original elevation +  distance covered by explorer

= -38 - 12x

According to the question,

final elevation < -200 feet

⇒ -38 - 12x < 200

Which is the required inequality.

Answer:

-38 - 12x < 200

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

The original elevation = -38 feet,

Also, the explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute.

So, the distance covered by explorer after x minutes = -12x feet,

Thus, the final elevation = original elevation +  distance covered by explorer

= -38 - 12x

According to the question,

final elevation < -200 feet

⇒ -38 - 12x < 200

Which is the required inequality.

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the scores of a class of sixth graders on a math test.
SOVA2 [1]

A stem and leaf plot shows sets of two digit numbers, by separating the ten’s place and the one’s place. On the left is the different ten’s values, while on the right next to each of the values on the left is the one’s values that associate with each of the ten’s values. This means that the numbers in this set of data are 32, 47, 51, 55, 55, 55, 58, 64, and so on. From there, you can use that knowledge to figure out how many scores were above 60.


The terms that are above 60 are 64, 65, 73, 74, 77, 87, 88, 91, 93, 93, 97, 99, and 99, for a total of 13 of the 20 scores being above 60.
