Question

your brother has $2,000 saved for vacation. His airplan ticketis $637. Write and solve an inequality to find out how much he can spend for everthing else.

Answer 1

he would have 1363 dollars to spend on everything else

Explanation:

you would subtract 637 from 2000. you would subtract what you already know, which is that your brothers airplane ticket is 637. after you subtract what you already know you will get your answer.

Answer 2

He can spend less than or equal to 1363

Explanation:

Let x be the amount he can spend for everything else excluding ticket

Ticket price = $637

So, Total amount spend = x+637

We are given that your brother has $2,000 saved for vacation.

So, He can spend 2000 or less than 2000 for vacation.

So, inequality becomes:
`x+637\leq 2000`

`x+637\leq 2000`

`x\leq 2000-637`

`x\leq 1363`

An inequality to find out how much he can spend for everything else is
`x\leq 1363`

Hence he can spend less than or equal to 1363 .
