4x + 53 ≥ 69
Subtract 53 from both sides of the inequality:
4x ≥ 16
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4:
x ≥ 4
The number of kids Helena needs to babysit is greater than or equal to 4.
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. Note: You will find the option to add a > , < , ≥ , or ≤ symbol in the Comparison (<) keyboard. (1 point)
