Question

You need at least $60 to buy a new video game. You have saved $25. Which inequality models how much more you must save?

Answer 1

The student must save at least $35 more to have the total of $60 required to buy the new video game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much more the student must save to buy a new video game, we set up an inequality. Let x represent the additional amount of money (in dollars) the student must save. The student has already saved $25, and the total amount needed is at least $60. Therefore, we can express this situation as the following inequality:

25 + x ≥ 60

To solve for x, subtract 25 from both sides of the inequality:

x ≥ 60 - 25

x ≥ 35

Thus, the student must save at least $35 more to have enough to purchase the video game.

Answer 2

So we know that you need $35 more, to afford the video game. (60-25=35)

I am going to assume that $35 would take place for N, I don't know what topic you may be working on so I am going to go with a brain kinda question.

I would also double check with someone else, I may be wrong and I wouldn't want you to fail!

So we can work on question A first (reminding you were are assuming $35 is taking place for N):

35+25<60

We know that 35+25 would be 60, so if this was the correct option, it would be equal to.

B: 35-25>60

Yes, 60 would be greater but its not really explaining how much more money you would need.

C:

Again like A, it would be equal to. But the thing that caught off guard about this question was, yes you would need 35+25 to get to 60. But is that what it really means?

D. 60 + 25 < 35

Yes it is true that 60 + 25 is greater than 35, but I feel like it means you already have that $60 which isnt true.

From what I believe, I believe your answer would be C. But to be sure I would check with someone else! Hope I helped!
