Nadia needs a total of at least 90 points across two tests. She scored 42 on the first test. Which inequality shows the possible scores s she can earn on the second test to reach her goal?
- A. 42 + s ≥ 90Correct
- B. 42 + s ≤ 90
- C. s ≥ 90
- D. 42s ≥ 90
Answer: A. 42 + s ≥ 90
The two scores together must reach 90.

- C. s ≥ 90
- This ignores the first test.
- D. 42s ≥ 90
- This multiplies the scores.
