4x + 53 ≥ 69
Subtract 53 from both sides:
4x ≥ 16
Divide both sides by 4:
x ≥ 4
Therefore, Helena needs to babysit at least 4 kids.
Helena will receive $53 plus $4 per kid for babysitting this afternoon. She is hoping to make at least $69. How many kids does she need to babysit? She writes the inequality 4x+53≥69
, where x
equals the number of kids, to help figure this out. Solve her inequality. Use the letter x
as your variable and write your x
term first.
