Questions: In a beanberg toss game, Janelle scores 5 points for landing on a round target and 8 points for landing on a square target. She needs more than 50 points to win. Let x represent the number of times Janelle lands on the round target and let y represent the number of times she lands on the square target. Which inequality represents the situation? 5x + 8y > 50 5x + 8y ≥ 50 5x + 5y > 50 8x + 5y < 50

Transcript text: In a beanberg toss game, Janelle scores 5 points for landing on a round target and 8 points for landing on a square target. She needs more than 50 points to win. Let x represent the number of times Janelle lands on the round target and let $y$ represent the number of times she lands on the square target. Which inequality represents the situation? $5 x+8 y>50$ $5 x+8 y \geq 50$ $5 x+5 y>50$ $8 x+5 y<50$

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the variables and their corresponding points

Let $ x $ represent the number of times Janelle lands on the round target, which scores 5 points each.
Let $ y $ represent the number of times Janelle lands on the square target, which scores 8 points each.

Step 2: Write the expression for total points
