    1750 + 35x ≥ 3250

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Average speed = 35 words

    He has already typed 1500 words on his final paper

    The paper must be more than 3250 words.

    To find at least how many more words he has to type, we will subtract 1500 from 3250

    3250 - 1500 = 1750 words

    The equation will be 35x ≥ 1750

    x is the number of minutes

    The equation could be

    1750 + 35x ≥ 3250
