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.
