Question

PLEASE everytime I ask a question I waste my points because people don't want to help!

Answer 1

Hopefully this is what you mean:


In order to get a bonus this month, Leon must sell at least 120 newspaper subscriptions. He sold 85 subscriptions in the first three weeks of the month. How many subscriptions must Leon sell in the last week of the month?

Solution
Let x = the number of subscriptions Leon sells in the last week of the month. The total number of subscriptions for the month must be greater than 120, so we write :
85 + x ≥ 120.
We solve the inequality by subtracting 85 from both sides: x ≥ 35.
