Question

Given the situation, which inequality models the number of additional weeks marie needs to continue saving to afford the home repairs? select the correct answer.

Answer 1

In the inequality models, the number of additional weeks is 1558+60x≥2158.

Given that the initial savings is $1558, the amount needed is $2158 and additional savings is $60 weekly.

Let the number of weeks be x.

So, she will save 60x in x weeks.

Total savings after x weeks is

Initial saving +60x       .......(1)

According to the question, she needs $1258 for repair.

So, that means the minimum requirement is 2158.

≥2158      ........(2)

Combine equations (1) and (2) and get

Initial savings +60x≥2158

As given that the initial savings is 1558.

Substitute this in above inequality and get

1558+60x≥2158

To find the number of weeks find value of x.

Subtract 1558 from either sides of the inequality.

1558+60x-1558≥2158-1558

60x≥600

Divide both sides with 60 as

60x÷60≥600÷60

x≥10

Hence, the inequality that models the number of additional weeks marie needs to continue saving to afford the home repairs is 1558+60x≥2158 and she needs to save $60 for at least 10 weeks.
