How to write an word problems for 4(x+5) greater than or equal to 6x

zepdrix (zepdrix):

4 times the sum of 5 and an amount x is greater than or equal to 6 times the amount x. Maybe like that ^ I wrote the word sum to show that the 4 is multiplying BOTH the 5 and the x.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Or do you need to actually create like sentences and candy bars and prices for this equation? lol

OpenStudy (jylarai):

Yep

OpenStudy (jylarai):

How would I show that you need to mulitlipy 4 to x and 5 in a word problem like using candy

OpenStudy (jylarai):

Or any other objects

zepdrix (zepdrix):
