Question

Beth has 250 comic books in her collection. She begins to sell 20 of them each week. Martin has 80 comic books in his collection. He begins buying 15 new comic books each week. Select from the choices below, dragging and dropping to build an inequality that could be used to determine when Martin's comic book collection exceeds Beth's.

Answer 1

250 - 20 < 80 + 15x

Explanation:

Given that

Beth has 250 books and 20 books sold each week

While on the other hand, Martin has 80 books and sell 15 books each week

Let us assume each week be x

Now the equations are

Beth 250 - 20x

Martin 80 + 15 x

Now the inequality would be

250 - 20 < 80 + 15x
