Your school wants to collect at least 5,000 box tops for a fundraiser. write and graph an inequality to describe the amount of box tops that your school hopes to collect.

The answer is: and the graph is attached.

The explanation is shown below:

1. You must use the information given in the problem to write the inequality.

2. represents the number of  box tops for the fundraiser. Based on the information, the value of must be greater than or equal to 5,000 box tops. Therefore, you have that the inequality is:

3. Then, you obtain the graph attached. As you can see, you must use a closed circle for ≥.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
