The inequality to represent the situation is:
40 + 12.5x ≥ 185
Simplifying the inequality:
12.5x ≥ 185 - 40
12.5x ≥ 145
Finally, solving for x:
x ≥ 145/12.5
x ≥ 11.6
Therefore, Alonso needs to make at least 12 visits to the movie theater to earn his first free movie ticket.
Alonso has a points card for a movie theater.
He receives 40 reward points just for signing up.
He earns 12.5 points for each visit to the movie theater.
He needs at least 185 points for a free movie ticket.
