Write two inequalities to represent the range for the heavyweight weight class in high school wrestling, which is no less than 195 lb and a maximum of 285 lb.

Let \( x \) be the weight in pounds.

1. \( x \geq 195 \)
2. \( x \leq 285 \)

Answer :

Answer:

w >= 195 and w <= 285

Step-by-step explanation:

No less than 195 lb means that 195 lb or more is allowed.

Let w = weight.

w >= 195

A maximum of 285 lb means that 285 lb or less is allowed.

w <= 285

Answer: w >= 195 and w <= 285
