Question

Xander needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items. Choose the inequality and solution to represent the number of cans, c, that Xander must still collect.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so he needs to collect at least 120 cans....and he already has 64

c + 64 > = 120 (thats a greater then or equal sign)

c > = 120 - 64

c > = 56....he needs to collect at least 56 more

Answer 2

Answer: 64 +c ≥ 120

c =56

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to add the number of item already collected by xander ( 64) and the number of cans that Xander must still collect. That expression must higher be or equal to the number of cans needed from the food drive.

Mathematically speaking

64 +c ≥ 120

Solving for c:

c  ≥ 120 -64

c ≥ 56

Xander must still collect 56 cans.
