Answer 4

\(\normalsize\color{green}{ \rm (45.11+x)\times( 3)\ge 210.63 }\)

Answer 5

the 3 is there, because they are saving for a 3 month period.
45.11 is what Tim saves each month
x (we don't know) [is] what Tom saves each month

( So altogether they would be saving 45.11+x amount of money each month. )

Answer 10

\(\large\color{brown}{ (45.11+x)\times(3)\ge210.63 }\)
\(\large\color{brown}{ (45.11+x)\times(3) \color{blue}{\div 3}\ge210.63 \color{blue}{\div 3} }\)
\(\large\color{brown}{ (45.11+x)\times \cancel{(3)}\color{blue}{\div \cancel{~3}}\ge70.21 }\)

\(\large\color{brown}{ 45.11+x\ge70.21 }\)
