Question

deon plans to buy a skateboard that costs at least $232. he wants to pay $105 in cash and will use his credit card for the rest. find x, the possible amount deon will charge to his credit card.
a. \\( x \geq -127 \\)
b. \\( x \geq 127 \\)
c. \\( x \geq -127 \\)
d. \\( x \geq 127 \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Define total cost inequality

Let $x$ = credit card amount. Total payment: $105 + x \geq 232$

Step2: Isolate $x$ via subtraction

Subtract 105 from both sides: $x \geq 232 - 105$

Step3: Calculate the difference

Compute the right-hand value: $232 - 105 = 127$

Answer:

B. $x \geq 127$, D. $x \geq 127$
