Question

H will receive 53 plus 4 per kid for babysitting this afternoon she is hoping to make at least 69 how many kids does she need to babysit? She writes the inequality 4x + 53 > 69 where x equals the number of kids to help figure this out solve her inequality use the letter x as your variable

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 4x + 53 > 69, we need to isolate x.

First, we subtract 53 from both sides of the inequality:

4x + 53 - 53 > 69 - 53
4x > 16

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to solve for x:

4x/4 > 16/4
x > 4

Therefore, she needs to babysit more than 4 kids in order to make at least $69.
