(really need on this one! )
robert has $83.00 and is saving for a new skateboard that costs $125.00. he is able to save $7.00 per week. write and solve an inequality for this situation if w represents the number of weeks that robert must save to buy the skateboard.

Oh this is easy! you do 125 = 83 +7w first you would do minus 83 so the 83 will cancel out then you do 125 minus 83 whatever that is then you divive it by 7 and that will give you w

Robert has earned $83.00 and the skate he wants costs $125.00
He saves $7.00/week

This means he earns $7*w

We also add up $83.00 to the unknown amount of dollars (W).

Set up the equation

7w + 83 ≥ 125

"≥" because his amount to pay the skateboard must be at least 125 or higher.

Move the known term 83 at the right of the inequality with changed sign.

7w ≥ 125 - 83

7w ≥ 42

Divide both sides for 7

w ≥ 6

He must save money for at least 6 weeks!

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

when multiplying or dividing by a negative on both sides you have to flip the inequality sign. this rule only applies to multiplying or dividing by a negative number in inequality equations. this rule is really important.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
