Respuesta :

Inequalities are used to represent unequal expressions.

The inequality is: (c) [tex]\mathbf{3p + 6 \ge 18}[/tex]

The given parameter is:

[tex]\mathbf{Free = 6}[/tex]

Represent the number of 3-point field goals with p.

So, the total number of points is:

[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 \times p + Free}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 p + Free}[/tex]

Substitute 6 for Free

[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 p + 6}[/tex]

He scored no fewer than 18 points, means that:

He scored 18 or more points

So, the inequality is:

[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 p + 6 \ge 18}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{3p + 6 \ge 18}[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is (c)
