Question

note: write it like a 6th grader would

Answer 1

Let x be the amount of money Stefani needs to earn.

Stefani already earned $48, so we can write the inequality as:
48 + x ≥ 250

To solve for x, we need to isolate it by subtracting 48 from both sides:
48 + x - 48 ≥ 250 - 48
x ≥ 202

So, Stefani needs to earn at least $202 more for her trip.
