Geno withdrew $50 from his savings account. If he now has no more than $425 in his savings account, how much money did Geno have originally?
solve the inequality

Respuesta :

The money with Geno originally is not more than $ 475

Solution:

Given that,

Geno withdrew $50 from his savings account

If he now has no more than $425 in his savings account

To find: Money had by geno originally

Let "x" be the money with Geno originally

From given,

He withdrew $ 50 from "x"

Then we can say,

[tex]x - 50\leq 425[/tex]

Here, we used "less than or equal " because he now has no more than $425 in his savings account

Solve the inequality

Add 50 to both sides

[tex]x - 50 + 50 \leq 425 + 50\\\\x\leq 425 + 50\\\\x\leq 475[/tex]

Thus the money with Geno originally is not more than $ 475
