Question

The first jump in a unicycle high-jump contest is shown. The bar is raised 2 centimeters after each jump. Solve the inequality 2n+10≥26 to find the number of additional jumps needed to meet or exceed the goal of clearing a height of 26 centimeters.

Answer 1

Answer:

n>8

2n + 10 > 26

2n +10 -10 > 26 - 10

2n  > 16

2n divided by 2 to leave n by itself > 16 divided by 2 ( what you do to one side is mirrored on the other side)

Therefore, n<8
