Cedric's basketball team scored fewer than 79 points in their last game. Which of the following inequalities represents the number of points Cedric's basketball team scored in their last game?

x < 79

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount they scored (x or any other variable) is less than 79, so you have to use a less than sign.

The equation is 1/3x+2>11

Anything greater than 27 is a possible answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Subtract 2 from both sides, 2-2 cancels out and 11-2=9

Now you have 1/3x>9

Step 2

Divide both sides by 1/3, 1/3 divided by 1/3 cancels outs and 9 divided by 1/3 is 27

Now you have x>27

So anything greater than 27 is a possible answer
