Answer 1

Answer:

$100+25x > 350$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Keith has $100 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer.

Let x be the number of weeks he works.

He makes $25 each week at his babysitting job.

He wants to earn more than $350 dollars during summer.

Total money earned by job = $25x$

His total money in account should be more than 350$.

We can write this with the help of inequality:

$100+25x > 350$

The following inequality represents the given situation.
