Answer 1

C, x<7

Explanation:

Answer 2

The inequality that represents the number of lift tickets she can buy is

35x + 420 ≥ 595

Explanation:

Given : Helena has saved $595 to put toward snowboarding equipment and lift tickets at the hill. Each lift ticket costs $35 and If she wants to have more than $420 of her savings left to spend on equipment.

We have to write the inequality that represents the number of lift tickets she can buy.

Let she buys x tickets.

Then, Given Cost of each tickets is $ 35

So, the cost of x tickets is 35x.

Since, she wants to have more than $420 of her savings left to spend on equipment.

So this can be modeled using the inequality as,

35x + 420 ≥ 595
