Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Brock weighs 134 pounds, he will lose 3 pounds a day until he is 126 pounds

D will represent the number of days he will work out.

134 - 3d < 126

134 - 3(3) < 126

134 - 9 = 125

125 < 126

3 days

Answer 2

We can say that Brock needs to workout for minimum 3 days to compete at feather weight level.
