Question

Suppose you had d dollars in your bank account. you spent $22 but you have at least $28 left. how much money did you have initially? write and solve an inequality that represents this situation.

please help!!! I have to turn this in soon.

Answer 1

d – 22 ≥ 28;d ≥ 50

Explanation:

Answer 2

`d-22\geq 28`

`d\geq 50`

Explanation:

Let d dollars be the initial amount in your bank account.

We have been given that you spent $22, so the amount left after spending $22 will be:
`d-22`.

We are also told that after spending $22, you have at least $28. This means that the amount left after spending $22 will be greater than or equal to $28.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

`d-22\geq 28`

Therefore, the inequality
`d-22\geq 28` represents the initial amount of money you had.

Now let us solve for d by adding 22 to both sides of our inequality.

`d-22+22\geq 28+22`

`d\geq 50`

Therefore, initially you had at least $50.
