500-(25x) < 200
Or it could be less than or equal too so the less than with a line under

Answer:

[tex]500-25w\geq 200[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent number of weeks.

We have been given that Triniti withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tickets. So amount withdrawn in w weeks would be [tex]25w[/tex].

We have been given that Triniti had $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. So amount left after w weeks would be [tex]500-25w[/tex].

Triniti wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of the summer. So amount left after w weeks would be greater than or equal to 200.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

[tex]500-25w\geq 200[/tex]

Therefore, our required inequality would be [tex]500-25w\geq 200[/tex].
