Answer:

  • 35x + 20 ≥ 1000
  • x ≥ 28

Explanation:

The number of filled bags will be 35 for each hour (x) that Jackson works, in addition to those already filled. So, the total number filled after x hours is ...

35x + 20

We want that number to be at least (greater than or equal to) 1000, so the relation is ...

35x +20 ≥ 1000

__

To solve this, we first subtract 20:

35x ≥ 980

Now, we can divide by the coefficient of x.

x ≥ 980/35

x ≥ 28 . . . . . the solution
