Question

You need at least 5000 points to earn a gift card from your bank. You currently have 2700 points.

Write an equation and inequality that represents the number of points you need to earn a gift card.

Answer 1

x + 2700 ≥ 5000 → x ≥ 2300

Explanation:

The inequality is: x + 2700 ≥ 5000 with x being the number of points

To solve we need to subtract 2700 from both sides to get: x ≥ 2300
