Answer 1

x ≥ 120

Explanation:

Explanation:

i) Let x be the number of packages of cards

ii) we know that Pablo currently has 1200 cards.

iii) Therefore the equation required is

15x + 1200 ≥ 3000 because we know that there are 15 cards in a package and the greater than equal to sign is used because Pablo has to collect at least 3000 cards

iv) Solving the equation we get

15x + 1200 ≥ 3000

⇒ 15x ≥ (3000 - 1200)

⇒ 15x ≥ 1800

⇒ x ≥ (1800 ÷ 15)

∴ x ≥ 120

Answer 2

x ≥ 120

Explanation:

i) Let x be the number of packages of cards

ii) we know that Pablo currently has 1200 cards.

iii) Therefore the equation required is

15x + 1200 ≥ 3000 because we know that there are 15 cards in a package and the greater than equal to sign is used because Pablo has to collect at least 3000 cards

iv) Solving the equation we get

15x + 1200 ≥ 3000

⇒ 15x ≥ (3000 - 1200)

⇒ 15x ≥ 1800

⇒ x ≥ (1800 ÷ 15)

∴ x ≥ 120
