Kaydence and Delilah are playing mini golf. Delilah's final score was 42. In mini golf, the player with the lowest score wins. Kaydence has 5 holes left and has a score of 27. This inequality represents x, the average number of shots she can take on each hole in order to beat Delilah's score. Which inequality shows how many shots she can take on each hole, on average, in order to beat Delilah's score? A. X < 3 B. X < 4 C. X < 10 D. X < 5

A. X < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the average number of shots Kaydence can take on each hole in order to beat Delilah's score.

Delilah final score is 42 while Kaydence has 5 holes left and has a score of 27. Hence:

number of holes left for Kaydence * x < Delilah final score - Kaydence present score

That is:

5*x < 42 - 27

Simplifying gives:

5x < 15

Dividing both sides by 5 to make x the subject of the inequality:

5x / 5 < 15 / 5

x < 3
