A waitress Nikia makes three dollars per hour +8 dollars in tips she goes to earn no less than $26 today what is the algebra equation for that

3x + 8 > 26

thats the answer? ms.sue ??

Yes.

To determine the algebra equation for the situation, let's use the variable "x" to represent the number of hours Nikia works today.

Since Nikia earns $3 per hour and an additional $8 in tips, the total amount she earns in x hours can be calculated as:

Total earnings = (Hourly rate * Number of hours) + Tips

So, in this case, the equation would be:

Total earnings = (3 * x) + 8

Since we want to find out how many hours Nikia needs to work to earn at least $26, we can set up the equation as an inequality:

(3 * x) + 8 ≥ 26

This equation states that the total earnings should be greater than or equal to $26.
