Question

Suppose you had d dollars in your bank account. You spent $21 but have at least $53 left. How much money did you have initially? Write and solve and inequality that represents this situation.

Answer 1

well you add what you spent and your balance. which is a total of $74 so..

d - 21 = 53

53 + 21 = 74 dollars


same thing if I had c cookies and I ate 12 cookies and have 9 left.

c - 12 = 9

12 + 9 = 21 cookies

hope this helps!

Answer 2

d-21≥ 53 hope this helps
