Two-Variable Linear Inequalities

Question 1 • Algebra 2 - Semester 1 Pathways

At Thursday’s basketball game, there were more than twice as many adult spectators as children. If x represents the number of adults and y represents the number of children, which inequality can be used to find the possible combinations of adults and children at the game?

Answer
A
x < 2y
B
x > 2y
C
2x < y
D
2x > y

Explanation

The number of adults is x, and the number of children is y. Twice the number of children is 2y, so “more than twice as many adults as children” means x > 2y. Choice B, x > 2y, states this relationship.
