Teddy should interpret the solution x>120 as meaning that in order for James to meet his goal of earning more than $1,000 this week, he needs to serve more than 120 customers. He can serve any number of customers greater than 120, and the more customers he serves, the more likely he is to meet or exceed his goal.
