Sebastián was saving $8.50 each week in order to have enough money for a phone that costs $122. If his father started him off with $25, write an inequality that can be used to determine the minimum number of whole weeks, w, Sebastián will need to save.

Step-by-step explanation:

122 - 25

97

y= 8.5x + 25

97/8.50 <

11.4 --> 12

x < 12

25 + 8.50w ≥ 122

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount saved per week = $8.50

Cost of phone = $122

Starting amount = $25

Minimum Number of whole weeks (w) Sébastien will need to save :

Starting amount + (weekly saving * number of weeks) ≥ 122

25 + 8.50w ≥ 122

8.50w ≥ 122 - 25

8.50w ≥ 97

w ≥ 97/8.50

w ≥ 11.4117

Number of whole weeks = 12

you are playing an adventure game on your computer. you come across a troll who won't let you pass and there is no other way to get to the other side of the river except over the bridge he is guarding.

the troll is a nerd. he takes great delight in watching people struggle with his problems. very few get them. he only gives you one chance and then he changes the puzzle. you have to solve this one.

before you are four blocks. they are numbered 11,6, -7,21.

he tells that the answer he wants is minus and between -1 and - 2. you can use +, -, ×, ÷   ( and ) as many times as you like or no times at all. you don't like the way he's looking at you, but you need to cross the bridge. what do you do?
