Carlos is hoping to save at least $200 in the next four weeks. His mom gives him $30, and he earns money each Saturday morning at his grandmother’s store. Write an inequality for the amount of money Carlos will need to earn each Saturday morning, and describe the solutions. Assume Carlos will earn the same amount each Saturday morning.(2 points)
_x+_≥_
, where x is the amount Carlos earns each Saturday morning. Carlos must earn at least $
each Saturday morning to have at least $200 in four weeks.
x + 30 ≥ 200
The inequality states that the amount Carlos earns each Saturday morning, represented by x, added to the $30 his mom gave him, must be greater than or equal to $200 in order for Carlos to have at least $200 in four weeks. The solutions for this inequality will be any value of x that is greater than or equal to 170.
whats the answer
what number goes before the 30 in this equation _x + 30 ≥ 200
There is no number that goes before the 30 in the equation x + 30 ≥ 200. The equation is already in its correct form.
no your wrong
I apologize for any confusion. The number that goes before the 30 in the equation is "1". The correct equation should be:
1x + 30 ≥ 200
or
x + 30 ≥ 200
Both equations are valid and represent the same inequality.
