Question

You have 19 digs for your current volleyball season. There are 5 games left in the season. You want to break your previous record of 26 digs in a season. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number x of digs you must get in the remaining 5 games to break your record

Answer 1

Answer:We must get more than 7 digs in the remaining 5 games  to break record of 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given situation:- Let  x represents the number of digs which we must get in the remaining 5 games to break your record ,and we have 19 digs for our current volleyball season.

To break  previous record of 26 digs in a season, we have to get more than 26 i.e. 19 digs added to x must be greater than 26

⇒x+19 ≥ 26

⇒x≥26-19⇒x≥7

Therefore,we must get more than 7 digs in the remaining 5 games  to break record of 26.
