kylie is writing a persuasive essay for english class. the essay has to present her opinion and evidence for constructing
that opinion. the essay has to have a minimum word count of 150 words and a maximum word count of 500 words.
which compound inequality represents the length, w, of the essay?
500 ≤ w ≤ 150
150 ≤ w ≤ 500
500 ≤ w
150 ≥ w

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze minimum word count

The essay has a minimum of 150 words, so \( w \geq 150 \).

Step2: Analyze maximum word count

The essay has a maximum of 500 words, so \( w \leq 500 \).

Step3: Combine inequalities

Combining these, we get \( 150 \leq w \leq 500 \).

Answer:

\( 150 \leq w \leq 500 \) (the second option: \( 150 \leq w \leq 500 \))
