Belle collects books and is working on building a small personal library. She would like to have at least 500 books in her library. She currently has 182 books. She plans to add at least 5 new books per month to her collection. Which inequality represents Belle’s book collection progress per month ()?

182 + 5t 500

Step-by-step explanation:

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
