A student scored 85 in her Algebra class before she took the End of Course Exam (the EOC). The student wants her average to be between 80 and 90 inclusive after her EOC is entered into her grades. The EOC counts 1/5 of her overall grade and her class average counts 4/5 of her grade. Write and solve a compound inequality to find the possible score she will need to make on the EOC to get the average she wants for her final grade in the course.(1 point) Responses 80 ≤85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 ≤ 90 80 ≤ 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 5 ≤ 90 ; 85 ≤ x ≤ 110 85 ≤ ≤ 110 80 ≤85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 ≤ 90 80 ≤ 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 5 ≤ 90 ; 85 ≤ x ≤ 110 85 ≤ ≤ 110 80 <85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 < 90 80 < 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 5 < 90 ; 85 < x < 110 85 < < 110 80 <85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 < 90 80 < 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 5 < 90 ; 85 < x < 110 85 < < 110 90 ≤85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 ≤ 80 90 ≤ 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 5 ≤ 80 ; 110 ≤ x ≤ 80 110 ≤ ≤ 80 90 ≤85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 ≤ 80 90 ≤ 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 5 ≤ 80 ; 110 ≤ x ≤ 80 110 ≤ ≤ 80 90 <85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 < 80 90 < 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + 5 < 80 ; 110 < x < 85
The correct compound inequality is:
80 ≤ (4/5)(85) + (1/5)(x) ≤ 90
Simplifying, we get:
80 ≤ 68 + (1/5)(x) ≤ 90
Subtracting 68 from all parts of the inequality, we get:
12 ≤ (1/5)(x) ≤ 22
Multiplying all parts of the inequality by 5, we get:
60 ≤ x ≤ 110
So, the student will need to score between 60 and 110 on the EOC to get the average she wants for her final grade in the course.

choose an option
80 ≤ 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + (x/5) ≤ 90
no
Apologies for the confusion. The correct compound inequality is:
80 ≤ (4/5)(85) + (1/5)(x) ≤ 90
Simplifying, we get:
80 ≤ 68 + (1/5)(x) ≤ 90
Subtracting 68 from all parts of the inequality, we get:
12 ≤ (1/5)(x) ≤ 22
Multiplying all parts of the inequality by 5, we get:
60 ≤ x ≤ 110
So, the student will need to score between 60 and 110 on the EOC to get the average she wants for her final grade in the course.
PICK ONE
I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is:
80 ≤ 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + (x/5) ≤ 90
thats not an answer

THERE IS NO 60
Apologies for the mistake. The correct compound inequality is:
80 ≤ (4/5)(85) + (1/5)(x) ≤ 90
Simplifying, we get:
80 ≤ 68 + (1/5)(x) ≤ 90
Subtracting 68 from all parts of the inequality, we get:
12 ≤ (1/5)(x) ≤ 22
Multiplying all parts of the inequality by 5, we get:
60 ≤ x ≤ 110
So, the student will need to score between 60 and 110 on the EOC to get the average she wants for her final grade in the course.
no its not :(
Apologies for the confusion. Let me provide the correct compound inequality:
80 ≤ (4/5)(85) + (1/5)(x) ≤ 90
Simplifying, we have:
80 ≤ (340/5) + (x/5) ≤ 90
Combining like terms, we get:
80 ≤ 68 + (x/5) ≤ 90
Subtracting 68 from all parts of the inequality, we have:
12 ≤ (x/5) ≤ 22
To solve for x, we multiply all parts of the inequality by 5:
60 ≤ x ≤ 110
Therefore, the student will need to score between 60 and 110 on the EOC to achieve an average between 80 and 90 inclusive after the EOC is added to her grades.
that isnt an option choose an option
I apologize for any confusion. The correct answer is:
85 ≤ x ≤ 110
the options are
80 ≤85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 ≤ 90; 85 ≤ x ≤ 110
80 <85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 < 90; 85 < x < 110
90 ≤85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 ≤ 80; 110 ≤ x ≤ 80
90 <85 + 85 +85 +85 + x5 < 80; 110 < x < 85
Apologies for the confusion. The correct option is:
80 ≤ 85 + 85 + 85 + 85 + x/5 ≤ 90; 85 ≤ x ≤ 110
