4x+53≥69
Subtract 53 from both sides:
4x+53-53≥69-53
4x≥16
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4≥16/4
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. Note: You will find the option to add a > , < , ≥ , or ≤ symbol in the Comparison (<) keyboard. (1 point)
