Question

tran recently started collecting comic books. she has collected 191 comic books so far and plans to collect 21 more comic books each week. at that rate, how many weeks will it take tran to have greater than 560 comic books in her collection? write a two - step inequality, using the values provided in the problem, that represents this situation. use x as the variable.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the initial number and rate

Tran has 191 comic books initially and collects 21 per week. Let \( x \) be the number of weeks. The total number of comic books after \( x \) weeks is initial plus collected: \( 191 + 21x \).

Step2: Set up the inequality

We want the total to be greater than 560, so the inequality is \( 191 + 21x > 560 \).

Answer:

\( 191 + 21x > 560 \)
