Answer:

3n + 11 ≥ 50

Explanation:

The word "sum" refers to addition as it is the term for the answer to an addition problem, so you know that there should be an addition sign in this inequality.

The word "times" means to multiply!

So you are multiplying 3 by some number which we will call it n. Now it says the SUM of 3n and eleven...meaning you are adding 3n and 11.

Greater than or equal to is a way of saying this symbol "≥" And "fifty" in numbers is 50

Your answer should be 3n + 11 ≥ 50

Hope this helps :)
