For homework, Fred has to read 30 minutes daily. It takes him 2 minutes per page, and he spends 4 minutes viewing graphics in the book. If x represents the number of pages he reads, then 2x + 4 ≥ 30 represents the time he reads each day. What is the fewest number of pages Fred must read to complete his homework?

OpenStudy (vanessaperezxo):

Ok, what do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x + 4 >= 30 30 - 4 = ?

OpenStudy (vanessaperezxo):

This is really simple.

OpenStudy (s117):

26

OpenStudy (vanessaperezxo):

ok remember you want to find what x is.

OpenStudy (vanessaperezxo):

2 times what = 26?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that gives us: 2x >= 26 What's 26 / 2?

OpenStudy (s117):
