Answer
Writing inequality to find the number of socks in the sell in order to make a profit
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Let \( x \) represent the number of pairs of socks you sell.

You spent $11 on supplies, so in order to make a profit, your revenue from selling the socks must be greater than the amount you spent. Since you're selling each pair for $2, the revenue from selling \( x \) pairs of socks is \( 2x \).

To make a profit, you need:

\[
2x > 11
\]

This inequality can be solved to find out how many pairs of socks you need to sell to make a profit:

1. Divide both sides by 2:

\[
x > \frac{11}{2}
\]

2. Simplifying gives:

\[
x > 5.5
\]

Since \( x \) must be a whole number (you can't sell half a pair of socks), you need to round up to the next whole number:

\[
x \geq 6
\]

Thus, you need to sell at least 6 pairs of socks to make a profit.

The inequality to find the number of pairs of socks you need to sell in order to make a profit is:

\( 2x > 11 \)

where \( x \) represents the number of pairs of socks sold.
