Arunning back is having a great day on the football field. it’s only the third quarter, and he’s already rushed for 203 yards. he’s close to breaking his previous record of 229 rushing yards in a game. how many yards does he need to gain during the rest of the game to break his record?

He needs to gain more than 26 yards in order to break his record

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y stand for the number of yards he’ll have to gain. The sum of y plus the number of yards he already has (203) must be greater than 229 in order for him to break the record.  

203 + y > 229                           Set up the inequality.

203 − 203 + y > 229 − 203       Subtract 203 from both sides of the inequality.

y > 26

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
