Question

1. if an athlete must run faster than 10 seconds in the 100-meter dash to qualify for the team, which inequality represents this condition?

x = 10
x > 10
x < 10
x ≤ 10

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable

Let \(x\) = athlete's 100m time (seconds).

Step2: Translate condition

"Faster than 10 seconds" means time is less than 10. So \(x < 10\).

Answer:

C. \(x < 10\)
