Question

In men's gymnastics, an athlete competes in 6 events. Suppose, that an athlete's average score per event is at most 9.7 points. How do you write an inequality to find the possible total scores for the athlete?

Answer 1

`x<=9.7xx6`

Explanation:

Let `x` equal the total number of points. We know that the athlete competed in 6 events and did not average more than 9.7 points. `x` is equal to the number of matches times the average score for each match (which is less than or equal to 9.7).
