Andre hit 46 balls at practice. He hit no fewer than 20 less than double the number of hits Jason had. Which inequality represents the situation if j represents the number of hits Jason had?
46 minus 20 less-than 2 j
2 j minus 20 less-than-or-equal-to 46
46 minus 20 less-than-or-equal-to 2 j
2 j minus 20 greater-than-or-equal-to 46

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  2j -20 ≤ 46

Step-by-step explanation:

"20 less than double the number Jason [hit]" can be represented by 2j-20.

We are told that 46 is no fewer than this value, so it is greater than or equal to this value:

  46 ≥ 2j -20

  2j -20 ≤ 46 . . . . . swapping sides to match answer choices

Answer 2

2j -20 ≤ 46
