Let j be Joey's goals
Let r by Romnick's goals
We're given 1 equation and 1 inequality:
Substitute equation (1) into inequality (2) for j:
r + r - 3 < 9
2r - 3 < 9
Typing this inequality into our math engine, we get:
r < 6
Let j be Joey's goals
Let r by Romnick's goals
We're given 1 equation and 1 inequality:
- r = j + 3
- r + j < 9
- j = r - 3
- r + j < 9
Substitute equation (1) into inequality (2) for j:
r + r - 3 < 9
2r - 3 < 9
Typing this inequality into our math engine, we get:
r < 6
