John must have at least 289 test points to pass his math class. he already has test scores of 72, 78, and 70. which inequality will tell him at least how many more points he needs to pass the class

a. 72 + 78 + 70 + x < 289
b. 72 + 78 + 70 + x ≤ 289
c. 72 + 78 + 70 + x ≥ 289
d. 72 + 78 + 70 + x > 289

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of points John needs to pass the class.

We have been that John  must have at least 289 test points to pass his math class. He already has test scores of 72, 78, and 70.

After scoring x points on John's total score would be .

Since John needs at least 289 test points to pass his math class, so the total number of points should be greater than or equal to 289.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

Therefore, the inequality represents the number of more points John needs to pass the class.
