Question

Clare would like to buy a video game that costs at least $130. She has saved $48 so far and plans on saving $5 of her allowance each week. Write an inequality to find out the number of weeks it will take until she has enough money to buy the game.

Answer 1

5x+48=130

Explanation:

5 is the money she gets each week. X is the number of weeks. X can be found easily but for the sake of this question, It's unknown. so 5x and then add the 48 she's already saved you get 5x+48=130 or 5x+48 is greater than or equal to 130.

Answer 2

48 + 5x >= 130
X = weeks
