Question

Fan + Medal
June's father is 6 times as old as June. The sum of their ages is no less than 77. Find an inequality that can be used to represent this situation, where x represents Julio's age. What is the youngest age Julio can be in the second box?

Answer 1

Ok, so Julio is x, and his father is f. Set up the equations like this:
f=6x (because his father is 6 times as old) and f+x≥77 (because their ages are 77 or older put together)
Next, we substitute 6x for f in the second equation, since we know they mean the same thing.
6x+x≥77
Combine like terms:
7x≥77
And divide both sides by 7:
x≥11
And that's your inequality! The youngest Julio could possibly be is 11, or older.
