Question

HELP ME PLEASE 10 points!!!!!

tamika has $55 in her savings account. She plans on depostiting $5 per week into her account. Write and solve an inqequality to find out how many weeks she must save to have more than $100 in her account. Then interpet the solution

Answer 1

x>9

Explanation:

Tamika already has $55, which will stay the same independent of how much time passes. Since she deposits $5 per week, we can assign weeks a variable x. The amount of money in her account after x weeks is equal to 55+5x. If she must save over $100, we can create an inequality to solve for how many weeks must pass: 55+5x>100.

The question also asks to solve the inequality:

1. 55+5x>100
2. 5x>100-55 (Subtract 55 from each side)
3. 5x>45
4. x>9 (Divide each side by 5)

This solution tells us that Tamika must save for more than nine weeks to have more than $100 in her account.

lmk if i made an error, hope this helps!!
