Samuel is running a 3-mile race. He would like to finish the race in under 33 minutes. He has already run for 10.5 minutes. The inequality 10.5 + x < 33 represents the situation. Solve the inequality. How is the solution interpreted in the context of the problem? x < 22.5; Sam has a maximum of 22.5 minutes left to finish running. x < 22.5; Sam has fewer than 22.5 minutes left to finish running. x > 43.5; Sam has at least 43.5 minutes left to finish running. x < 43.5; Sam has no more than 43.5 minutes left to finish running.

Answer: Second Option

x < 22.5; Sam has fewer than 22.5 minutes left to finish running

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following inequality

[tex]10.5 + x < 33[/tex]

Notice that 10.5 is the amount of time in minutes that Samuel has run.

x represents the amount of additional time it will take to finish the race

33 represents the time limit in which you want to finish the race

The we solve the inequality

[tex]10.5 + x < 33[/tex]

Subtract 10.5 on both sides of the inequality

[tex]10.5 -10.5 + x < 33-10.5[/tex]

[tex]x < 33-10.5[/tex]

[tex]x < 22.5[/tex]

This result means that Samuel must finish the race before 22.5 minutes have elapsed

The answer is the second option

Answer:

X<22.5;sam has fewer than 22.5 left to finish running
