Question 952002: Francis has five more dollars than Julie. Together they have at least $45. Let x represent the amount of money Francis has. Which inequality can be used to find the possible amounts of money that Francis has?

F = J + 5
F + J >= 45
(J+5) + J >= 45
2J + 5 >= 45
2J >= 40
J >= 20
If Julie's money is less than or equal to 20, and Frank has $5 more, then Frank's money is less than or equal to 25.
F >= 25
