Explanation:

Answer 2

In this question, it is given that

Walter wants computer software that cost $129. He has $57 saved.

he saves a maximum of $15 a week, the following inequality can be used to find how many weeks it will take Walter to save enough money to buy the software.

`15x+57 \geq  129`

And we have to solve this inequality for x.

First we subtract 57 to both sides. And on doing so , we will get

`15x\geq  72`

Dividing both sides by 15.

`x \geq   4.8`\

Correct option is A.
