PLEEEAAAASSSEE HEEEELLLLPP ME BRAINLIEST ANSWER PLUS 10 PTS!!!!!!!!

Chris types at an average speed of 35 words per minute. He has already typed 1,500 words of his final paper. The paper has to be more than 3,250 words.
Which of the following inequalities could be used to solve for x, the number of minutes it will take Chris to type his paper?

A. 35x + 1,500 > 3,250
B. 35x - 1,500 > 3,250
C. 35x > 4,750
D. 35x > 3,250

Answer :

It would be A

If you rearrange A, you get: 35x > 3250 - 1500
35x > 1750 (meaning, he still has another 1750 words left to type to hit his 3250 target)

A. 35x + 1,500 > 3,250
He has already typed 1500.
He needs to type more than 3250 total.

Hope I helped :)
