Larry has purchased 20 trading cards and wants to have at least 50 trading cards. Write and solve an inequality to find the number of trading cards Larry needs. Select all of the true statements below.
a) x + 20 > or equals 50
b) x + 20 < or equals 50
c) x > or equals 30
d) x< or equals to 30
e) x > or equals 0
To find the number of trading cards Larry needs, let's represent the number of trading cards Larry needs with the variable x.
We know that Larry already has 20 trading cards, so we can set up the following inequality:
x + 20 ≥ 50
Now, we can solve for x:
x + 20 ≥ 50
x ≥ 30
So, Larry needs at least 30 more trading cards to have at least 50 trading cards.
Select all of the true statements below:
a) x + 20 ≥ 50
c) x ≥ 30
e) x ≥ 0
