Question

Charlie has more than 50 game coins Charlie has 8 more than 3 times as game coins as Steven if x represents the number of game coins Steven has which inequality can be used to determine the possible number of game coins Steven has

Answer 1

Answer: $x>14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Charlie has more than 50 game coins

Steven has $x$ coins

So, according to the question, charlie has 8 more than 3 times the steven coins i.e.

$\Rightarrow 3x+8$

Also, this must be greater than 50

$\therefore 3x+8>50\\\Rightarrow 3x>42\\\Rightarrow x>14$
