Jessica is getting ready she needs to have an overall grade of 85 in her math class to qualify for the college that she wished to attend her math grade is based solely on her scores on 6 exams on the first 5 exams her scores we're 87 81 85 90 78 write an inequality that represents her predicament what does her score does she need to get on her last test to qualify

Her average so far is the sum of the five scores divided by the number of tests she has taken so far.

(87 + 81 + 85 + 90 + 78)/5 = 84.2

(87 + 81 + 85 + 90 + 78)/5 < 85 :(

She will not get into that college if she doesn't increase her average on the last test.

85 - 84.2 = 0.8

0.8(5) = 4.0

On her last test, she needs to score 4 points higher than her current average in order to get into the college.

84.2 + 4 = 88.2

Jessica needs to score at least 88.2 on her last test.

answer: domain and range mean all possible values of x and y that could be substituted to the inequality. a solution means all possible values that make the inequality statement true. so while the range is still all real numbers, the solution is the shaded area, for which y will always be greater than the line of the function.
