In a racing competition, Musa covered a distance 5x km in the first hour and (x + 10)km in the next hour. He was second to Nzozi who covered a total distance of 118km in the two hours. Which of the following inequalities is correct?

Answer Details

Total distance covered by Musa in 2 hrs
= x + 10 + 5x
= 6x + 10
Ngozi = 118 km
If they are equal, 6x + 10 = 188
but 6x + 10 < 118

6x < 108

= x < 18

0 < x < 18 = 0 $\le$ x < 18
