Answer:

The inequality is 6 + 3x 12 or x 2 .

Explanation:

Given that $6 is for admission which is a fixed amount, $3 is charged per hour and must not spend more than $12. So the inequality will be :

Let x be the no. of hours,

6 + 3x ≤ 12

Solve :

6 + 3x ≤ 12

3x ≤ 12 - 6

3x ≤ 6

x ≤ 6 ÷ 3

x ≤ 2
