Lamont has purchased 25 trading cards and wants to have at most 60 trading cards. Write and solve an inequality to find the number of trading cards Lamont needs.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of trading cards Lamont needs.
We can write the inequality: x + 25 ≤ 60.
Solving for x, we subtract 25 from both sides of the inequality: x ≤ 60 - 25.
Simplifying the right side gives us: x ≤ 35.
Therefore, Lamont needs at most 35 trading cards.
