Answer:
D. 96
F. 32
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality 3x ≥ 96, means that x and 3 must be multiplied to get a product that is <u><em>greater</em></u> than 96. So to figure this out, you must plug in the numbers given for x, like so:
3x ≥ 96
A. 3(31) ≥ 96
93 ≥ 96 This is incorrect since 93 is not greater than 96
A tip that makes this easier is that, you can see that 31 multiplied by 3 is 93, which is only a couple numbers off 96, so all numbers after 31 will result in a product greater than 96. For example:
D. 3(96) ≥ 96
288 ≥ 96 This inequality is correct
F. 3(32) ≥ 96
96 ≥ 96
The inequality sign states that the number must be either greater or equal to 96, which it is.
