1 answer

To represent the scenario given, we need to express Adam's constraints as a system of linear inequalities using \( w \) for the amount of money in his wallet and \( s \) for the amount of money in his savings.

The requirements are:

  • Adam has at least $25 in his wallet: This means \( w \) should be greater than or equal to 25.
  • Adam has no more than $375 in his savings: This means \( s \) should be less than or equal to 375.

So, the correct representation of this scenario as a system of linear inequalities is:

\[ w \geq 25 \] \[ s \leq 375 \]

Among the options provided, this matches:

w≥25

s≤375

Therefore, the correct response is:

w≥25, s≤375
