To find the amount of money \( m \) that a family must bring to the amusement park so that they will have at least $21 to spend after paying a $5 parking fee, we can set up the inequality as follows:
1. The family pays a $5 parking fee, so after paying that, they have \( m - 5 \).
2. They want to have at least $21 left, which gives us the inequality:
\[
m - 5 \geq 21
\]
3. Now, we add 5 to both sides of the inequality:
\[
m \geq 21 + 5
\]
\[
m \geq 26
\]
Thus, the inequality that shows the amount of money \( m \) that a family must bring to the amusement park is:
**m≥26** (m greater-than-or-equal-to 26).
1. The family pays a $5 parking fee, so after paying that, they have \( m - 5 \).
2. They want to have at least $21 left, which gives us the inequality:
\[
m - 5 \geq 21
\]
3. Now, we add 5 to both sides of the inequality:
\[
m \geq 21 + 5
\]
\[
m \geq 26
\]
Thus, the inequality that shows the amount of money \( m \) that a family must bring to the amusement park is:
**m≥26** (m greater-than-or-equal-to 26).
