Answer 1

`100+25x > 350`

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Keith has $100 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer.

Let x be the number of weeks he works.

He makes $25 each week at his babysitting job.

He wants to earn more than $350 dollars during summer.

Total money earned by job =
`25x`

His total money in account should be more than 350$.

We can write this with the help of inequality:

`100+25x > 350`

The following inequality represents the given situation.
