Wilmer spends at least 13 hours reading for his assignments each week, plus 1 hour completing each reading response assignment. the inequality that represents the total number of hours, y, wilmer reads for his various assignments each week is y≥x+13, where x represents the number of reading response assignments he completes.

this week, wilmer can spend only 5 hours total reading for his various assignments.

which explanation correctly analyzes whether there is a solution for this scenario?

there is no solution. for the inequality to be true, the value of x has to be negative. this is impossible because wilmer can't have a negative number of reading response assignments.

the ordered pair (−8,5) is a solution to the inequality y≥x+13. this ordered pair shows that wilmer can complete 8 reading responses in the 5 hours.

the ordered pair (5,18) is a solution to the inequality y≥x+13. this ordered pair shows that wilmer can complete 18 reading responses in the 5 hours.

there is no solution. for the inequality to be true, the value of x has to be a fraction. this is impossible because wilmer can't have a fractional number of reading response assignments.
