GIVEN:

WARREN’S SAVING = ₱6000

AT LEAST WARREN’S SAVING = ₱2000
AMOUNT OF WITHDRAW PER WEEK = ₱250

Let x be the amount withdraw per week = 250x

AT LEAST SIGN (≥)

WITHDRAW SIGN (-)

Q1: Write the inequality that represents Warren’s situation.

Soln:

.: 6000 – 250x ≥ 2000

Q2: How many weeks can Warren withdraw money from his account? Justify your answer
Soln:
6000 – 250x ≥ 2000 - Given Linear Inequality
6000 – 6000 – 250x ≥ 2000 – 6000 - subtract 6000 both side of the equation
-250x ≥ - 4000 - simplify

−250 x −4000
≥ - Divide both side by -250
−250 −250

x ≥ 16 - simplify

.: 16 weeks can Warren withdraw money from his savings account.

Check:
6000 – 250x ≥ 2000
6000 – 250 (16) ≥ 2000
6000 – 4000 ≥ 2000
2000 ≥ 2000
