Answer:
3.5x + 15 ≥ 55
Explanation:
I think the question below contains the missing information.
Josh has a rewards card for a movie theater. - He receives 15 points for becoming a rewards card holder. - He earns 3.5 points for each visit to the movie theatre. - He needs at least 55 points to earn a free movie ticket. Which inequality can Josh use to determine x, the minimum number of visits he needs to earn his firs free movie ticket?
My answer:
- Becoming a member = 15 points
- Visiting the moving theater = 3.5 points
- Total points needed for a free movie ticket = 55
Let x is the number of times he visits = 3.5x
Total points = Points received on becoming a member + Points received on x visits
So,
Total Points = 15 + 3.5x
We know the total points must be at least 55 for a free movie ticket. This can be expressed as:
3.5x + 15 ≥ 55
