Question

1. Write an inequality that represents the fact that you can’t exceed this spending limit.

2. What situation is modeled by the inequality?


3. You decide to purchase 30 toys. Your first few customers each buy 3 toys, and you now have at least 14 toys. Which inequality represents this situation?

Answer 1

1- S < L

2- Spending is less than the limit.

3- 30-3x
`\geq` 14

Explanation:

• Let S be the spending and L be the limit then S < L represents inequality that you cannot exceed limit.
• This inequality models the situation that spending 'S' cannot exceed the defined limit 'L'.
• Let 'x' be the number of first few customer hence we will be left with at least 14 or more toys.
