Alicia cashed her paycheck and used half her earnings to take three friends out to dinner. She spent $42.15 and she brought home more than $20. Write an inequality to represent the situation, using X to represent the amount of Alicia's paycheck

If you would like to write an inequality to represent the situation, using X to represent the amount of Alicia's paycheck, you can calculate this using the following steps:

X ... the amount of Alicia's paycheck

X/2 - $42.15 > = $20

X/2 > = $20 + $42.15

X/2 > = $62.15 / * 2

X > = $62.15 * 2

X > = $124.3

The correct result would be X > = $124.3.
