Question

Aleah enjoys swimming and skating with her friends. she has a budget where she spends no more than $80 a month for her activities. swimming costs $5 each time and skating costs $4 each time. write a linear inequality to represent this situation.

Answer 1

5x+4y
`\geq`80. The cost of swimming times the number of times she swims (since we don't know the number we use X) plus the cost of skating times the number of times she skates (represented by Y) that should be equal to or less than $80, her monthly budget :)
