Question

PLEAZE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Jenny earned a 77 on her most recent test. Jenny’s score is no less than 5 points greater than 4/5 of Terrance’s score. If t represents Terrance’s score, which inequality represents the situation?

Answer 1

Answer:  $j \ge \frac{4}{5}t+5$

note: replace 'j' with any other letter you want, assuming your book does not use this letter.

=============================================

Explanation:

j = jenny's score

t = Terrance's score

(4/5)*t = 4/5 of Terrance's score

(4/5)*t+5 = 5 points greater than 4/5 of Terrance's score

$j \ge \frac{4}{5}t+5$ represents the inequality connecting Jenny's score and Terrance's score. Saying "her score is no less than some amount" is basically saying "the lowest her score can go is that amount". A specific example: if we say "her score is no less than 12" then this means "her score is 12 or more" and we can write $j \ge 12$
