The inequality can be written as:
60 + 13.5x ≥ 195
To solve for x, we first subtract 60 from both sides:
13.5x ≥ 195 - 60
Simplifying,
13.5x ≥ 135
Finally, divide both sides by 13.5:
x ≥ 135 / 13.5
x ≥ 10
Therefore, Piper needs to make at least 10 visits to the movie theater to earn her first free movie ticket.
