PLEASE HELP More than 370 students went on a field trip. Twelve buses were filled and 10 more students traveled in a car. Let the variable x represent the number of students on each bus. In the first blank, write a linear inequality to represent this situation (no spaces). Solve the inequality to determine how many students can fit on a bus. Write your solution as a an inequality using x in the second blank.

Answer:

Inequality: [tex]12x+10>370[/tex]

Solution: [tex]x>30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable x represent the number of students on each bus, then in 12 buses there are 12x students.

10 more students traveled in a car, then the total nuber of students is 12x + 10.

More than 370 students went on a field trip, so

[tex]12x+10>370[/tex]

Solve this inequality. First, subtract 10 from both sides:

[tex]12x+10-10>370-10\\ \\12x>360[/tex]

Now divide both sides by 12:

[tex]x>30[/tex]
