Write an inequality to represent this real-world situation. Andre wants to practice the piano 9 hours a week. Each time he practices he practices for 23 hour. If he has already practiced 2 hours this week, how many sessions, x , does he still need to practice to reach or surpass his goal?(1 point)
The inequality to represent this situation would be:
9 - 2 + 23x ≥ 9
Explanation:
- Andre wants to practice the piano for a total of 9 hours per week.
- Each time he practices, he practices for 23 hours.
- He has already practiced 2 hours this week.
- We need to find how many more sessions (x) he needs to reach or surpass his goal.
- The left side of the inequality represents the total hours Andre has practiced so far (9 - 2 + 23x).
- The right side of the inequality represents his goal of practicing 9 hours or more.
- The inequality states that the total hours Andre has practiced (9 - 2 + 23x) must be greater than or equal to 9 in order for him to reach or surpass his goal.
