Question

You want to purchase a ticket to the movies. A ticket costs at least $12. You have $3. How much more money do you need to purchase a ticket? Write and solve an inequality.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

We have $3, we need more money $x, so that the sum will be $12 or more

3 + x ≥12

the inequality is 3+x ≥ 12

solve for x

3+x ≥ 12, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

3-3+x ≥1 2-3

x ≥ 9, we need $9 or more to purchase a ticket
