Gopal is buying replacement basketballs for a community sports league. There are currently 42 basketballs available and Gopal knows that each team will want at least five basketballs.

Write an inequality to show how many basketballs, b, Gopal will need to purchase for t teams.

There are 10 teams in the league. Solve your inequality to determine how many basketballs should purchase.

b [tex]\geq[/tex] 5t, because each team needs at LEAST 5 balls.

Plug in 10 for t:

b [tex]\geq[/tex] 5(10), which means:

b  [tex]\geq[/tex] 50 balls, so at LEAST 50 balls

An inequality to display the way number of basketballs required by Gopal to buy t teams:

b [tex]\geq[/tex] 5t

Inequality

What information do we have:

No. of basketballs (b) = 42

No. of teams = t

Balls required by each team = 5

So,

Inequality = b [tex]\geq[/tex] 5t

by putting 10 in place of t,

b [tex]\geq[/tex] 5(10),

This shows that;

b  [tex]\geq[/tex] 50 balls,

Thus, a minimum of 50 balls are required for every team to get at least 5 balls.

Thus, the above answer is correct.
