Lamont has purchased 20 trading cards and wants to have at least 50 trading cards write and solve an inequality to find the number of trading cards Lamont needs select all the true statements.

Question

X+20>_50
X+20<_50
X>_30
X<_30
X>_70

Answer 1

The correct inequality to represent the situation is X + 20 ≥ 50.

This is because Lamont already has 20 trading cards (represented by the "+20" term) and wants to have at least 50 trading cards (represented by the "≥ 50" inequality). This means that the total number of trading cards (X + 20) must be greater than or equal to 50.

The following statements are true based on the given inequality:
- X + 20 ≥ 50
- X ≥ 30
- X ≤ 70

Therefore, the true statements are:
- X + 20 ≥ 50
- X ≥ 30
- X ≤ 70
