Q. For Mother's Day, Jackson is making a flower arrangement for his mom. Jackson adds

6

daisies to start. He plans to add at least as many sunflowers as daisies.

\newline

Let

s

represent the number of sunflowers Jackson might use in the arrangement. Which inequality models the story?

\newline

s>6

\newline

s \geq 6

\newline

s<6

\newline

s \leq 6

\newline

Graph the inequality that models the story.

\newline

To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Start with Daisies: Jackson starts with $6$ daisies, and he wants at least as many sunflowers as daisies. $\newline$ So, the number of sunflowers $s$ should be greater than or equal to the number of daisies. $\newline$ $s \geq 6$
Graph the Inequality: To graph the inequality $s \geq 6$ , we plot a closed endpoint at $6$ because the number of sunflowers can be $6$ (it's included in the inequality). $\newline$ Then we draw a ray to the right to show that $s$ can be any number greater than or equal to $6$ .
