Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the two inequalities -8x + 3 ≥ 27 and  −13x + 5 ≥ 57

we need to find the set of solutions that make the two inequalities true (the intersection)

First, let's solve the two inequalities, starting with -8x + 3 ≥ 27

-8x + 3 ≥ 27

subtract 3 from both sides

-8x≥24

divide both sides by -8 and remember to FLIP the inequality sign, as we're dividing with a negative

x ≤ -3

now for the other inequality:

−13x + 5 ≥ 57

subtract 5 from both sides

-13x ≥ 52

divide both sides by -13 and remember to FLIP the sign

x ≤ -4

please see below for the graph to find the intersection, as well as the final answer

Hope this helps! :)

how many players are there?
