Answer 1

Hello there.

Tom is getting ready to go on vacation. he wants to save at least $2,000 for his trip. so far he has saved $375. write an inequality using the variable m to represent how much money he needs to save to reach his goal and find that amount of money.

1,625

Answer 2

Given:
budget at least 2,000
amount saved so far : 375.

let m represent the amount needed to reach his goal.

375 + m > 2,000

375 plus m greater than or equal to 2,000.

375 + m > 2,000
-375 -375
m > 1,625

Tom should have an additional amount of at least 1,625 for him to reach his budget of at least 2,000 for his trip.
