Problem:
Sophia is saving money for a new laptop. She currently has $170 in her savings account. She plans to save a certain amount of money each week. After 7 weeks, she wants to have more than $320 in her account to make the purchase. She expects to receive a weekly allowance of $58. Will Sophia have enough money to buy the laptop after 7 weeks with her current savings and allowance?
Seven parts of the inequality:
Variable term on the left side: 58x (represents the total money Sophia saves from her allowance)
Constant term on the left side: 170 (represents Sophia's initial savings)
Operation between the terms on the left side: Addition (+) because she's adding her allowance to her initial savings.
Inequality symbol: > (represents "more than")
Variable term on the right side: 42x (represents the money she spends from her allowance over 7 weeks)
Constant term on the right side: 320 (represents the amount Sophia wants to have in her account)
Operation between the terms on the right side: Addition (+) because she wants to reach a certain savings goal.
The question requesting a solution for the unknown (variable) is: "Will Sophia have enough money to buy the laptop after 7 weeks with her current savings and allowance?"
