Answer 1

500 - 24x ≥ 150

Explanation:

It is given that there is a $500 balance in Keith's savings account at the start of the year.

By the end of June, he must have a $150 balance in his account.

Now, there are (6 × 4) = 24 weeks from the start of January to the end of June.

If he withdraws $x per week, then the inequality that shows Keith's situation will be 500 - 24x ≥ 150 ..... (1) (Answer)
