Answer:

[tex]5x+8y>50[/tex]


Step-by-step explanation:

  • 5 points for landing on ROUND TARGET and [tex]x[/tex]  number of times Janelle lands on ROUND TARGET. So total point gained is [tex]5x[/tex]
  • 8 points for landing on SQUARE TARGET and [tex]y[/tex]  number of times Janelle lands on SQUARE TARGET. So total point gained is  [tex]8y[/tex]

Total point of Janelle is sum of the two. Which is:

[tex]5x+8y[/tex]

The total has to be more than 50, which translates to:

[tex]5x+8y>50[/tex]

This inequality is representing the situation of Janelle.
