Answer:

7, 10 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]S_1= 3[/tex]  --- Students already enrolled

[tex]Total = 10\ (less)[/tex]

Required

Determine the additional number of students needed for the teacher not to cancel the class

First, we need to calculate the number of students for the teacher to cancel the class.

Represent this with x.

So, we have:

[tex]S_1 + x < Total[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x < Total - S_1[/tex]

Substitute values for Total and S1

[tex]x < 10 - 3[/tex]

[tex]x < 7[/tex]

This means that if less than 7 additional students come to the class, the teacher will cancel the class.

So, for the teacher not to cancel the class, the students must be 7 or greater (i.e. 7, 8, 9, 10....)
