28 students travel on a field trip. They bring a van that can seat 12 students. Elena and Kiran's teacher asks other adults to drive cars that seat 3 children each to transport the rest of the students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, she can use this inequality and it does matter since the number of cars that the inequality provides will need to be equal to or more than that number in order for all the students to be able to go. Therefore, if we apply the inequality it would give us the minimum number of cars needed (n) like so

12  + 3n > 28   ... subtract 12 on both sides  

3n > 16  ... divide both sides by 3

n > 5 1/3

Since there can't be 1/3 of a car and the number of cars needed must be higher than 5 1/3 then we would need a total of 6 cars to take all of the children.

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
