Answer 2

Option B

Explanation:

Given the inequality

`20\leq 12k+29`

This can also be written as:

`12k+29\geq 120`

• We have a constant term 29
• We have a variable number of buttons 12k which is a multiple of the number of buttons collected and the number of years, k.
• The inequality sign is greater than or equal to which means "at least 120".

Therefore, the statement that best describes the inequality is the following:

(B)Felicia has 29 buttons in her collection. She will collect 12 new buttons every year. Felicia collects buttons for k years. For what values of k will Felicia have at least 120 buttons?
