, make up an inequality and solve it. You also brainstormed what it would look like to communicate your solution clearly if your inequality represented a real-world problem. In your first post, share your inequality and solution with your peers. Then ask your peers if they can come up with a real-world problem that could be solved using your inequality.
Inequality: 4x + 3 > 15
Solution:
4x + 3 > 15
4x > 12
x > 3
To communicate this solution clearly in a real-world problem, we could say:
"In order for a student to pass their math class, they need to earn a score of at least 15 out of 20 on their final exam. If their score is represented by x, the inequality 4x + 3 > 15 can be used to determine that the student needs to score higher than 3 in order to pass the class."
can you make this sound like a 7th grader
Sure!
"For a student to pass their math class, they need to get at least 15 out of 20 on their final exam. If we call their score x, the rule is that 4 times their score plus 3 has to be more than 15. So, the student has to get a score higher than 3 to pass the class."
