Jimmy needs $42 to buy a pack of comic books. He has saved $18 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $6 per hour. Which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that Jimmy should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy a pack of comic books?

6n ≥ 42 + 18, so n ≥ 10

6n ≤ 42 + 18, so n ≤ 10

18 + 6n ≤ 42, so n ≤ 4

18 + 6n ≥ 42, so n ≥ 4
