Answer :

  • C. Liv still needs more than 21 signatures

Solution :

  • 15 + s > 36

subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality

  • 15 + s - 15 > 36 - 15

simplify

  • s > 21

thus, liv still needs more than 21 signatures to sign her petition .

Answer:

C. Liv still needs more than 21 signatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liv needs more than 36 people to sign her petition. She collects 15 signatures at school and around her neighborhood. The inequality that represents this is:

[tex]15 + s > 36[/tex]

where s represents the number of signatures Liv needs:

To determine which statement is true about the inequality, we need to solve it for s.

Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality to isolate s:

[tex]15 + s - 15 > 36 - 15\\\\s > 21[/tex]

Therefore, the number of signatures needed (s) is greater than 21, so the true statement is:

[tex]\Large\boxed{\textsf{C. Liv still needs more than 21 signatures.}}[/tex]
