Problema Solution
Translate the following situation into an inequality. Do not solve.
“Collin left the party one half hour before Gabriel. Terrence left an hour and a half later than Gabriel. Together the three of them stayed more than four hours. How long did they each stay at the party?”
Answer provided by our tutors
let gabriel left the party at time x
so collin = x-1
and terrance= x+1.5
now x+x-1+x+1.5>4
so 3x>3.5
x > 3.5/3=1.8
so gabriel stay at party for 1.8 hr
collin for 0.8 hr and terrance 3 .3 hr
