How would I write 2 inequalities that describe in basketball that 2 points = field goal and 1 point = free throw and I have scored at least 3 points in every game this season and 15 points for the most points in one game?
Please Explain!
I don't understand.
To write the inequalities describing the points in basketball, we need to consider the conditions given: 2 points for a field goal, 1 point for a free throw, and the scoring criteria for each game.
Let's start with the condition that you have scored at least 3 points in every game this season. This means that the total points scored in each game, represented by "x", should be greater than or equal to 3. Therefore, the inequality for this condition is:
x ≥ 3
Next, let's consider the condition that the most points you have scored in any one game is 15. This means that the total points scored in a single game, represented by "y", should be less than or equal to 15. The inequality for this condition is:
y ≤ 15
Combining both inequalities, we have:
x ≥ 3 and y ≤ 15
This represents the two inequalities that describe the points in basketball, considering the conditions given.
