) Jacob reads a number of books in July and 8 books in August. During the same months, Marcus reads 3 times as many books as Jacob. Jacob let’s b represent of books he reads in July. He finds that the number of books that Marcus reads during both months is 3 times the sum of b and 8. Write and expression to represent the number of books that Marcus reads during both months.

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
