At the beginning of the school year, Jamie had $500 in her savings account. She wants to have at least $200 left in the account

at the end of the school year. Each week, she withdraws $30 for spending money. To determine how many weeks she can spend $30, Jamie wrote and solved this inequality.
500 − 30x ≥ 200
−500 −500
−30x ≥ −300
x ≥ 10
Review Jamie’s work. What was her error?
