Question

Pleasee help(GIVING BRAINILEST) Tyra's family is spending the afternoon in Millersville. They plan to see a movie and then explore the town. The movie will cost the family $36, and parking costs $4 per hour.

How long will the family be able to spend in Millersville if they want to spend less than $60 and they don’t have any other expenses?

Answer 1

1. 60>4x+36

2.6>x

Explanation:

60 is the total amount of money the family has to spend, they want to spend less than that so...

60 is greater than what they will spend (60>)

the (x) is the amount of hours the family will spend at the city. parking cost 4 so that means 4 dollars per hour.

the 36 is what they have to initially spend to watch the movie

if you subtract both sides of the (>) by 36 you get

24>4x

then you divide both sides by 4 to get the (x) by itself, which gets you

6>x

meaning that the amount of hours the family will spend at the city will have to be 5 hours

correct me if I'm wrong but i believe that this is the correct answer... i double checked

Answer 2

1.) 4x + 36 < 60

2.) The family must spend less than 6 hours in Millersville watching the movie.

Explanation:

1.) In order to write an inequality to represent the situation, we need to consider all variables. The main resultant / dependent variable is the money spent. The independent variable is the time.

Let x = time and y = money spent.

y = mx + b

Since the entrance fee for the movie is $36, we know that the b = 36. Since the rate of change is $4, you know that m = 4. Lastly, since the maximum amount of money the family has is $60, y = 60.

60 = 4x + 36

Finally, since the money spent must always be LESS THAN 60, 4x + 36 < 60

2.) Soling the Inequality:

Firstly, isolate the 4x by subtracting 36 from both sides.

4x + 36 -36 < 60 - 36

4x < 24

Next, divide both side by 4 in order to isolate x. Since 4 is positive, DO NOT flip the less than

4x/4 < 24/4

x < 6

Since x represents the time, time < 6 hours, meaning that the family must spend less than 6 hours in Millersville watching the movie.
