Answer:

[tex]50x < 330 + 30x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Helen:

[tex]Base\ Amount = \$330[/tex]

[tex]Weekly = \$30[/tex]

Vince:

[tex]Base\ Amount = \$0[/tex]

[tex]Weekly = \$50[/tex]

First, we need to determine Helen's and Vince's balance at x weeks.

[tex]Balance = Base\ Amount + Weekly\ Earnings * x[/tex]

For Helen:

[tex]Balance = 330 + 30 * x[/tex]

[tex]Balance = 330 + 30x[/tex]

For Vince:

[tex]Balance = 0 + 50 * x[/tex]

[tex]Balance = 50x[/tex]

As an inequality, we have:

[tex]Helen > Vince[/tex]

[tex]330 + 30x > 50x[/tex]

Reorder

[tex]50x < 330 + 30x[/tex]
