Question

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

Answer 1

x+30 ≥ 200

The inequality x+30 ≥ 200 represents the amount of money Carlos will need to earn each Saturday morning. The solution to the inequality is all values of x that are greater than or equal to 170. In other words, Carlos must earn at least $170 each Saturday morning in order to have at least $200 in four weeks.

Answer 2

there is a number before X

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let me correct the inequality for you.

Let's assume the number Carlos needs to earn each Saturday morning is "n". The correct inequality would be:

4n + 30 ≥ 200

This inequality represents the amount of money Carlos will need to earn each Saturday morning. The solution to the inequality is all values of "n" that satisfy the condition. Solving the inequality:

4n ≥ 200 - 30
4n ≥ 170
n ≥ 170/4
n ≥ 42.5

This means that Carlos must earn at least $42.5 (rounding up to the nearest cent) each Saturday morning to have at least $200 in four weeks.
