Question

The owner of a new restaurant wants to have seating for more than 68 people. There is currently a private chef's table that seats 2 people. The owner plans to buy m tables that each seat 4 people.
Which inequality can be used to show the situation?



2m+4>68

4m+2>68

2(m+4)>68

4(m+2)>68

Answer 1

The inequality that would best work for your problem is 4m+2>68.
This is because there is already a table for 2 (explains the +2) and for every extra table he buys, m, the owner can seat an additional 4 people (explains 4m). Lastly, the owner wants at least 68 people, so there should be extra seating, which would be greater than 68.

Answer 2

I think it's the second one. 4m+2>68
