Let x represent how many loaves of banana bread Deion will bake. Which inequality describes the problem? Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution. Deion will bake at least loaves of banana bread.

Deion will bake at least 10 loaves of banana bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Deion wants to give away 7 mini loaves of banana

he wants to keep at least 3 loaves for himself

we designate the amount of loaves he intends to bake by x

The inequality equation will be

x - 7 ≥ 3

we solve by adding 7 to both sides of the equation

x - 7 + 7 ≥ 3 + 7

x ≥ 10

this means that ...

Deion must bake at least 10 loaves of banana bread.
