In a game, players earn points for completing challenges. The rules state that players with a score of 5 points, write and solve an inequality to find out how many more points they need to reach the eligibility for the bonus round. Use the variable “p” to represent points.
The inequality would be:
5 + x < 10
To solve for x, we subtract 5 from both sides:
x < 5
This means that players with 5 points need to earn less than 5 more points to reach the eligibility for the bonus round.
