Amine extracts 2 tons of ore in an hour. of the total ore extracted in a day, 4 tons is purchased by the government and more than 10 tons is sold to a mineral extractor. if the mine operates for x hours in a day, what is the simplest inequality that represents the number of hours the mine must operate to meet its obligations?

they sell 4 and more than10 for a total of at least 14 tons

the mine extracts 2 ton per hour

 so 14/2 = 7 hours a day minimum

so the inequality should be x>7

part 1 answer = 8

part 2 answer = 72

step-by-step explanation:

part 1 explanation = add all of the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you have. so, 200/25 = 8.

part 2 explanation = not gonna lie, this is hard to explain, so just google how to do it.
