The Gomez family budgeted $4,000 for their ski trip. Their budget consisted of $700 for travel costs and $120 per day for other expenses. Which inequality represents the number of days, x, the family could have stayed on their ski trip?

4000 >= 700 + 120x Can you work it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Treat it like an equation and solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still dont get it. never have been good in math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4000 >= 700 + 120x 4000 - 700 >= 700 + 120x - 700 3300 >= 120x Do you follow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes kinda getting it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now to solve for x, simplify 3300/120.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes =)

Although given the context of the question, I'd say 27.
