Inequalities are used to represent unequal expressions.
The inequality is: (c) [tex]\mathbf{3p + 6 \ge 18}[/tex]
The given parameter is:
[tex]\mathbf{Free = 6}[/tex]
Represent the number of 3-point field goals with p.
So, the total number of points is:
[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 \times p + Free}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 p + Free}[/tex]
Substitute 6 for Free
[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 p + 6}[/tex]
He scored no fewer than 18 points, means that:
He scored 18 or more points
So, the inequality is:
[tex]\mathbf{Total = 3 p + 6 \ge 18}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{3p + 6 \ge 18}[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is (c)
