Question

once farid spends 15 minutes on a single level in his favorite video game, he loses a life. he has already spent 10 minutes on the level he’s playing now. let x represent how many more minutes farid can play on that level without losing a life. which inequality describes the problem? 10 + x < 15 10 + x > 15 solve the inequality. then, complete the sentence to describe the solution. farid can play less than more minutes on that level without losing a life.

Explanation:

Step1: Select correct inequality

Total time must be under 15: $10 + x < 15$

Step2: Isolate x via subtraction

Subtract 10 from both sides:
$10 + x - 10 < 15 - 10$

Step3: Simplify to solve for x

Calculate the result: $x < 5$

Answer:

Correct inequality: $10 + x < 15$
Farid can play less than 5 more minutes on that level without losing a life.
