Question

jalen is buying pears at the grocery store. he needs to buy at least 2 pounds of pears to get the sale price. let p be the weight of pears, in pounds. which inequality represents the amount of pears jalen needs to buy to get the sale price? p ≥ 2 graph p ≥ 2.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the inequality symbol

The symbol $\geq$ means "greater than or equal to". In the context of $p\geq2$, $p$ (weight of pears) can be 2 or any value larger than 2.

Step2: Graph the inequality

On a number - line, we mark a closed circle at 2 (because 2 is included in the solution set, due to the "equal to" part of $\geq$) and draw an arrow to the right to represent all values greater than 2.

Answer:

To graph $p\geq2$, place a closed circle at 2 on the number - line and draw an arrow to the right.
