Question

More than 370 students went on a field trip. Twelve buses were filled and 10 more students traveled in a car. Let the variable x represent the number of students on each bus. In the first blank, write a linear inequality to represent this situation (no spaces). Solve the inequality to determine how many students can fit on a bus. Write your solution as a an inequality using x in the second blank.

Answer 1

Answer:

370= 12x +10 30 students can fit on a bus

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+10= 370

    -10    -10

12x= 360

/12    /12

x=30

Answer 2

Answer:

The inequality becomes: $12x+10> 370$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable x represent the number of students on each bus.

So, in 12 buses there are 12x students.

The inequality becomes: $12x+10> 370$

So, to know how many students will fit in a bus, we will solve the inequality.

$12x+10> 370$

=> $12x > 370-10$

=> $12x> 360$

Dividing both sides by 12;

We get x > 30

There were more than 30 students in each bus.
