A hockey team determines that it needs at least 60 points forthe season in order to make the playoffs. A win w is worth 2 pointsand a tie t is worth 1 point. Find and graph an inequality thatdescribes the situation.

Explanation / Answer

What is the inequality? Since the team needs at least 60 points, the inequality willbe: equation >= 60 (this means greater than or equal to). Now what is the equation? You know that a win is 2 points and a tie is 1 point. You canexpress the total score at 2w + 1t where w is thenumber of wins and t is the number of ties. (you can think of this like counting money: if you haved dimes and q quarters, then the total amount is0.1d+0.25q)
