Amaya's test scores in algebra 1 are 48 and 61. she has one more test left and wants to earn a d for the course, which is from 60-69 inclusive. write a compound inequality to repesent the situation and solve the inequality to find the range of scores amaya has to earn to get a d in algebra 1. amaya must get greater than or equal to a

The first thing you should do before writing the compound inequation is to know what Amaya's grade point average is.
 The average grade for the three exams is:
 (48 + 61 + x) / 3
 Then, she wants to get a D in the course, then we have two inequations:
 (48+61+x)/3 >=60
 (48 + 61 + x) / 3 <= 69
 The compound inequation is:
 60 <= (48 + 61 + x) / 3 <= 69
 Solving the compound inequation:
 (48 + 61 + x) / 3> = 60
 (48 + 61 + x) / 3 = 60
 (48 + 61 + x) = 180
 x = 180 - 48 - 61 = 71
On the other hand,
 (48 + 61 + x) / 3 <= 69
 (48 + 61 + x) / 3 = 69
 x = 207 - 48 - 61 = 98
 answer 
 60 <= (48 + 61 + x) / 3 <= 69 
 the range of scores Amaya you have to earn to get to D in Algebra is
 [71 - 98]
