He plans to keep the business open as long as the savings stay at or above $5,640. If his losses continue, and x represents the number of weeks the business stays open, which of the following inequalities symbolizes this situation?
$8,000 - $295x > $5,640
$8,000 + $295x > $5,640
$5,640 - $295x > $8,000
$295 + $8,000x > $8,000
