If a bus driver leaves her first stop by 7:00 a. M., her route will take less than 35 minutes. If she leaves after 7:00 a. M., she estimates that the same route will take no less than 43 minutes. Write an inequality which represents the time it takes to drive the route, r.

r < 35 or r ≥ 43

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that when the bus driver leaves her first stop by 7:00 a.m., her route will take less than 35 minutes.

Since the time it takes to drive the route is r, then;

r < 35

Also, If she leaves after 7:00 a.M., she estimates that the same route will take no less than 43 minutes. Thus;

r ≥ 43

Thus;

r < 35 or r ≥ 43

its 50 miles away from the starting point
