Xavier needs to earn $300 for his trip for his Soccer tournament. He mows lawns every Saturday morning and earn $56. Write and solve an inequality to show how much more Xavier needs to earn Show your work
Let x represent the additional amount Xavier needs to earn.
$56 (money earned from mowing lawns) + x (additional money needed) ≥ $300
56 + x ≥ 300
Subtract 56 from both sides:
x ≥ 244
Therefore, Xavier needs to earn at least $244 more to reach his goal of $300 for the trip.
