Beth has at least x dollars to spend on tulips. Her husband gives her $100. She now has at least $250 to spend on tulips. Model this scenario using a one-step inequality. (1 point)

Question

Responses

x−100≥250
x minus 100 greater-than-or-equal-to 250

x+100>250
x plus 100 greater than 250

x+100≤250
x plus 100 less-than-or-equal-to 250

x+100≥250

Answer 1

To model the scenario, we start with the information given:

1. Beth has at least \( x \) dollars.
2. Her husband gives her $100, so now she has \( x + 100 \) dollars.
3. After receiving the money, she has at least $250 to spend.

Putting this all together, we can write the inequality that represents the situation:

\[ x + 100 \geq 250 \]

This means that the correct answer is:

x + 100 ≥ 250
