Answer 2

Answer: 25 + 12.5v ≥ 170

Explanation:

We already have the 25 reward points; it also gives the information that she gets 12.5 points for each visit. Because we don't know the amount she has gone to the theater or will go we have to use a variable; 12.5v. When we add them, we get 25 + 12.5v. The inequality we use is ≥ because it says "at least". When this is used that means it has to be equal to or greater and that is why use that sign and get the full equation;

5 + 12.5v ≥ 170
