Question

Paul’s grandmother gave him a collection of 30 coins. Each month Paul adds 5 coins to his collection. Which inequality can be used to find m, the number of months after starting his collection when Paul will have more than 60 coins in his collection?

A. 30 + 5 = 60

B. 30 + 5x > 60

C. 60 + x > 30

Answer 1

>60 means greater than 60

So the inequality would be 30 + 5x > 60
