Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
Step-by-step explanation:
-26a-19-35=-84
-26a-19+(19)-35=-84+(19)
-26a-35=-65
-26a-35+(35)=-65+(35)
-26a=-30
-26a/26=-30/26
The inequality is t < 55
<em><u>Solution</u></em><em><u>:</u></em>
Given that, To qualify for the championship a runner must complete the race in less than 55 minutes
Let "t" represent the time in minutes of a runner who qualifies for the championship
Here it is given that the value of t is less than 55 minutes
Therefore, "t" must be less than 55, so that the runner qualifies the championship
<em><u>This is represented by inequality:</u></em>
The above inequality means, that time taken to complete the race must be less than 55 for a runner to qualify
Hence the required inequality is t < 55
