helena will receive $53 plus $4 per kid for babysitting this afternoon. she is hoping to make at least $69. how many kids does she need to babysit? she writes the inequality $4x + 53 \geq 69$, where $x$ equals the number of kids, to help figure this out. solve her inequality. use the letter $x$ as your variable and write your $x$ term first.
note: you will find the option to add a $>$, $<$, $\geq$, or $\leq$ symbol in the comparison ($<$) keyboard.

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 53 from both sides

$4x + 53 - 53 \geq 69 - 53$
$4x \geq 16$

Step2: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4} \geq \frac{16}{4}$
$x \geq 4$

Answer:

$x \geq 4$
