Question

Jacob has $1,000 in a checking account and withdraws $40 each week. His account requires a minimum balance of more than $400. Write and inequality to model the number of weeks,x, that he can withdraw $40 to maintain the minimum balance requirement.

Answer 1

1. x is less than or equal to 24

Explanation:

If 1000 divided by 40 equals 25, then you would want to stay under that.

so your next best bet is 24

then we just input our variable and sign

`x \leqslant 24`
