On her math test, anna is asked to write an inequality that fits the following situation: the library is having a contest to guess the number of candy pieces in a jar. johns guess of three times the number of candy pieces in the jar increased by 100 is a lower number than keisha’s guess of 250 less than twice the number of candy pieces. anna writes the inequality 3x+100< 250-2x which is incorrect can you find anna’s mistake? what is the correct way to write this inequality?

Yes, I can find Anna's mistake.She writes 250-2x  instead 2x-250 and correct inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of candy pieces.

Three times the number of candy pieces=

John guess a number =

Twice the number of candy pieces=

Keisha guess a number=

We have to find Anna's mistake and write correct inequality

According to question

But Anna writes the inequality

Yes, I can find Anna's mistake. She writes 250-2x instead of 2x-250 and correct inequality

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8

step-by-step explanation:

answer: y=0 if that is what u r looking for
