Question

1. for the inequality $c \geq 76$, tami says 80 and 100 are both solutions. is she correct? explain why or why not.
2. for the inequality $12 > d$, jarod says 9 and 12 are both solutions. is he correct? explain why or why not.

Explanation:

Step1: Check 80 for $c \geq 76$

$80 \geq 76$ is true.

Step2: Check 100 for $c \geq 76$

$100 \geq 76$ is true.

Step3: Check 9 for $12 > d$

$12 > 9$ is true.

Step4: Check 12 for $12 > d$

$12 > 12$ is false.

Answer:

1. Tami is correct. Both 80 and 100 are greater than 76, so they satisfy $c \geq 76$.
2. Jarod is not correct. 9 satisfies $12 > d$, but 12 is not less than 12, so 12 is not a solution.
