Answer:

I believe it is C

Explanation:

If he already has 300, it´s like the y-intercept

so you can eliminate a and b

he buys 40 more per week, where w is the amount of weeks

I believe it is C

Answer:

C.40W + 300 > 700

Explanation:

Bobby has 300 baseball cards given by his uncle.

In addition, he purchases 40 baseball cards weekly.

Let the number of weeks be represented by w.

Then after w weeks , number of baseball cards purchased by him will be 40 * w.

In order to determine the number of weeks after which his collection of baseball cards will exceed 700, we use the following inequality:

300 + 40w > 700

This actually corresponds to optio C in the given list.
