If Julio's age = x, then his father's must be 4x.
And if his father's age + Julio's age must be greater than or equal to 55.
So with that,
The answer is 4x+%2B+x+%3E=+55
Keep the 4x and x separated instead of combining them just for simplicity's sake.

+x+ = Julio's age
+4x+ = his father's age
+x+%2B+4x+%3E+=+55+
+5x+%3E=+55+
+x+%3E=+11+
