Where x represents the number of chocolate chip cookies that Ms. Estrada will bake.
To determine the inequality that represents the problem, we need to consider the given information.
Ms. Estrada plans to take 36 chocolate chip cookies to the bake sale and wants to keep at least 24 cookies for her cookie jar at home.
Let's use the variable x to represent the number of chocolate chip cookies Ms. Estrada will bake.
From the given information, we have the following inequality:
x - 36 ≥ 24
Explanation: Since Ms. Estrada wants to keep at least 24 cookies for herself, the number of cookies she bakes (x) minus the ones she takes to the bake sale (36) must be greater than or equal to 24.
