Question

Henry has at least 3 times as much money as Deb. Using x= the amount of money Deb has and y= the amount of Henry has, write a inequality that would show all the possible amount of money that each could have. Give one possible solution

Answer 1

y ≥ 3x

Possible solution: x=1, y=3

Since Henry has atleast 3 times as much money as Deb

y=3x

y must always be greater than or equal to 3x

if x=1 y=3
