Question

Can someone please help me with this?( there is a part 2)

Answer 1

Part A:

Since Juanita had at first $25

Since she earns $11 per hour

Then her total earning in x hours is

`11x+25`

Since she needs at least $58 to buy new shoes

At least means greater than or equal, then the inequality should be

`11x+25\ge58`

Part B:

Let us solve it by subtracting 25 from each side

`\begin{gathered} 11x+25-25\ge58-25 \\ 11x\ge33 \end{gathered}`

Divide each side by 11

`\begin{gathered} (11x)/(11)\ge(33)/(11) \\ x\ge3 \end{gathered}`

Then the answer is the 3rd choice
