Let:

V = Number of visits

T = Total points

The total points will be:


T=85+12.5V

he needs at least 260 points for a free movie ticket, therefore:


\begin{gathered} T\ge260 \\ Since\colon \\ T=85+12.5V \\ then\colon_{} \\ 85+12.5V\ge260 \end{gathered}

Let's solve the inequality:


\begin{gathered} \text{Subtract 85 from both sides:} \\ 12.5V\ge260-85 \\ 12.5V\ge175 \\ \text{divide both sides by 12.5:} \\ V\ge(175)/(12.5) \\ V\ge14 \end{gathered}

He needs at least 14 visits
