Question

Mrs. Valdez wanted to determine the number of people, p, she could safely take in her car to the fun run. She determined that p < 5. Which statement best describes a possible number of people she can take in her car?
Mrs. Valdez can take –2 people because –2 < 5.

Mrs. Valdez can take 2 people because 2 < 5.

Mrs. Valdez can take 3.5 people because 3.5 < 5. NOT THIS

Mrs. Valdez can take 5 people because 5 < 5.


its not c


What is the first step in solving the inequality < –1?


Multiply both sides by 6.

Add 2 to both sides. NOT THIS ONE

Change the direction of the inequality.

Change the inequality to ≤.

Answer 1

Answer:

for the first question b,

it doesn't make sense for choice a to have -2 people in the car. You can't have a negative amount of people. For choice choice c, you can't have half a person, and for choice d, Ms. Valdez can only have under 5 people, not five people exactly.

for the second question I need to see the whole inequality, generally there is a variable, and all i see is <-1, which is invalid.

hope this helps, if it does like it pls!!
