Responses

x ≥
4,500
x is greater than or equal to 4,500

x ≥
60
x is greater than or equal to 60

x ≥
1.95
x is greater than or equal to 1.95

x ≥
20

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(15x + 300 \geq 600\):

1. Subtract 300 from both sides: \[ 15x \geq 600 - 300 \] \[ 15x \geq 300 \]

2. Divide both sides by 15: \[ x \geq \frac{300}{15} \] \[ x \geq 20 \]

So, Suzie needs to make at least 20 sales. The correct response is:

x ≥ 20.
