The sum of two positive integers, a and b, is at least 30. The difference of the two integers is at least 10. If b is th
integer, which system of inequalities could represent the values of a and b?

Answer:

[tex]a + b \geq 30[/tex]

[tex]b - a \geq 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The sum of the two positive integer a and b is at least 30, this means the sum of the two positive integer is 30 or greater than 30, so we write the inequalities as below.

[tex]a + b \geq 30[/tex]

The difference of the two integers is at least 10, if b is the greater integer then we subtract integer a from integer b, so we write the inequality as below.

[tex]b - a \geq 10[/tex]

Therefore, the following system of inequalities could represent the values of two positive integers a and b.

[tex]a + b \geq 30[/tex]

[tex]b - a \geq 10[/tex]
