Jeffrey needs to spend atleast 11 more hours studying for his college entrance exam. Tomorrow he has three more hours available than today. The next day he has half the time he has today. How many hours should he study each day?
---
Let "x" be number of hours he will study today.
Then "x+3" is # of hrs. he will study tomorrow.
And "x/2" is # of hrs he will study the next day.
----
x + (x+3) + (x/2) >= 11
