Question

**Correct Me !
Michael borrowed $445 from his parents to make some repairs on his car. He promised to repay the loan by giving his parents at least $65 from his paycheck each week. If x represents the number of weeks and y represents his debt, which linear inequality represents the amount of debt Michael has remaining?

y ≥ $445 - $65x

y ≥ $445 + $65x

y ≤ $445 + $65x

y ≤ $445 - $65x <-------

Answer 1

if he paid exactly $65 each week, then it would be as simple as y = 445 - 65x

Answer 2

but he's paying $65 or more, so changing the = to <= makes sense (because the more you pay, the smaller the debt will be)

so I agree with what you got
