Cary and his brother took a road trip together. The total number of miles they drove was more than 200. Cary drove for 50 miles. Which distances could his brother have driven? Check all that apply.

A. 50 miles

B. 100 miles

C. 150 miles

D. 200 miles

E. 250 miles

Correct options are:

D. 200 miles

E. 250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Cary and his brother took a road trip together.

Cary drove for 50 miles.

Let his brother drove x miles

The total number of miles they drove was more than 200.

⇒ 50+x>200

⇒ x>200-50

⇒ x>150

i. e. Cary's brother drove for more than 150 miles

Hence, options which satisfies the above inequality are:

D. 200 miles

E. 250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is not to include anything under and including 150 miles. So A B and C are not to be checked.

D and E are both true.
