Respuesta :

Answer: 65 + 5x ≥200

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality with the information given:

Janice's savings (65) plus the product of the amount she saves per week (5) and the number of weeks (x) must be higher or equal to $200.

Mathematically speaking:

65 + 5x ≥200

If we solve it for x:

5x ≥200-65

5x ≥135

x ≥ 135/5

x ≥ 27 weeks

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
