Question

Juan has grown 2 inches since last summer, but he's still not tall enough to get on the Crazy Carts ride. The minimum height for Crazy Carts is 42 inches. Let x represent how tall Juan was last summer. Which inequality describes the problem? 1. X + 2 ≥ 42 2. X + 2 > 2 3. X +2≤42 4. X+2<42

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 2 < 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimum height for Crazy cart = 42 inches

x = height last summer

Number if inches grown since last summer = 2

Height now = x + 2 is still not yet up to 42 inches because he is not yet tall enough to get on crazy carts ride.

Representing as an inequality :

x + 2 < 42
