Question

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

let x = June's age
let 6x = June's father's age
x + 6x = 77
7x = 77
x =11
The youngest age Julio can be is 11

Answer 2

Father is 6x older than June. Sum is 77 and less. If we model June as x, then x + 6x < 78.
