To be eligible for the senior admission rate, a visitor must be at least 65 years old. Use y to represent the age (in years) of a visitor who gets the senior rate.

At the airport, each piece of luggage to be checked in must not weigh more than 55 pounds.
Use w to represent the weight (in pounds) of a piece of luggage that can be checked in.

y ≥ 65

w ≤ 55

Step-by-step explanation:

1)To be eligible for the senior admission rate, a visitor must be at least 65 years old. Use y to represent the age (in years) of a visitor who gets the senior rate.

"At atleast 65 years" is the same as being 65 years old or olderIf y is represented by age, the correct equation is y ≥ 65

2)At the airport, each piece of luggage to be checked in must not weigh more than 55 pounds. Use w to represent the weight (in pounds) of a piece of luggage that can be checked in.

"not weigh more than 55 pounds" is the same as having it weigh 55 pounds or lessIf w is presented by the weight, the correct equation is w ≤ 55

Louise’s answer is not correct. She is missing the term 30x3. When squaring a binomial, it is best to write the product of the binomial times itself. Then you can use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial. Louise also could have used the formula for a perfect square trinomial, which is found by squaring a binomial.
