Answer 2

Answer:

Something like 2x-50 $\geq$ $299

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when she doubles the number, that means it is multiplied by 2, but the number she has is unknown, so it's x. Then she takes $50, which means you have to subtract from the 2x. I put the $\geq$ because technically, the variable could be any number and you could still buy the $299 bike. But if you want an exact answer for the x would be $174.50. :)
