I need help!!! Anyone here good at 7th grade math???

Suppose your sister wants to qualify for a regional gymnastics competition. At today’s competition she must score at least 34.0 points. She scored 8.8 on the vault, 7.9 on the balance beam, an 8.2 on the uneven parallel bars. The event that remains is the floor exercise. a. Write and solve an inequality that models the information. b. Explain what the solution means in terms of the original situation. c. Open-Ended Write three scores your sister could make that would allow her to qualify for the regional gymnastics competition.

a. 24.9 + x >= 34.0 (>= means greaterthan or equal to)

24.9+x>34

9.1

So she needs a 9.1 on the floor exercise to get at least a 34.

So anything above that would be acceptable like 9.2 etc.. I believe.

All I did was add the first three scores to get 24.9 and then x was the score she needed for the floor. So you just subtract 24.9 from 34 to get 9.1

And for the problem abouve the symbol should really be > with a line under it. That means greater than or equal to.

She needs a 9.1 on the floor excercize to make 34.0

8.8+7.9+8.2+x=34.0

add like terms and subtract from 34.0 to come up with 9.1

she could get a 9.2, a 9.3, or a 10 to qualify,

A) 34>8.8+7.9+8.2

B) Well the solution means 34 is greater than the points he has so far.

C) 12+15+15

I’m in gymnastics and i get this stuff all the time, so i alway have TO FIGURE OUT MY SCORES, ONLY MY SCORES ARE USUALLY in the 9.0’s but thats besides the point… (a) 8.8+7.9+8.2=24.9. (b) you have to find out what the score is without the floor score then get that answer and subtract it from the 34.0 to get 5.1. (c) shecan either get a 5.1, a 6.0, or a 7.0. these all will get her to a 34.0 to qualify. anything above 5.1 will work too but i just gave some examples becauase it saids to give examples. i hope i could help.

a+b+c+x= 34

a= 8.8 (vault)

b= 7.9 (balance beam)

c= 8.2 (parallel bars)

x= ? (floor excersise)

now substitue what you know

8.8+7.9+8.2+X=34

now solve for X

24.9+X= 34

24.9 + X (-24.9)=34(-24.9)

subtract 24.9 from both sides and you get X

x=9.1

She could score anything from 9.1-10.0 in order to qualify.
