Grace will receive $50 plus $5 per child for babysitting this afternoon. She is hoping to make atleast $63 dollars to buy a new video game tonight. How many children does she need to babysit? Write and inequality that could be used to solve this problem. Use the letter x as a variable, and write the inequality so that the x term comes first. (1 point)

2 answers

x ≥ 11

50 + 5x ≥ 63
Wrong!

The bot's own equation would show
50 + 5x ≥ 63
5x ≥ 13
x ≥ 2.6

So at least 3 kids are needed, 2 will earn her only $60
