The temperature was less than -15 degrees Celsius. Write an inequality and three possible solutions .
I wrote t<-15 . Is this correct? I am stumped on the three possible solutions
Yes, you got the inequality correct. The inequality t < -15 represents the condition that the temperature, denoted by t, is less than -15 degrees Celsius.
Now, to find three possible solutions, you can simply choose any three values that are less than -15 degrees Celsius and substitute them in for t. Here are three possible solutions:
1. t = -20: The temperature of -20 degrees Celsius is indeed less than -15.
2. t = -25: The temperature of -25 degrees Celsius is also less than -15.
3. t = -30: The temperature of -30 degrees Celsius is still less than -15.
So, the three possible solutions are t = -20, t = -25, and t = -30.
Yes, your inequality is correct.
t = -16
t = -17
t = -20
