It's your birthday and you are going to the mall, but you need money. Your mom gives you at least $50. If x represents the amount of money your mom gives you, write the inequality that describes this situation.
you started with no money which is 0 and your mom gives you $50 which is represented by x, this could be shown as 0+x and now that you have 50 bucks it would be 0+x=50
