Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Leon already have $ 130

The total Leon needs to buy the bike is, $ 350.

The inequality given as :


130 + 20x> 350

Subtracting 130 in both sides


130+20x - 130 > 350-130


20x>220

Dividing 20in both sides


x>(220)/(20)


x>11

It means Leon needs more than 11 weeks to save enough money.

So the answer is 12 weeks. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
