Answer: You have to plug in the numbers.

So first let's plug in 13. 7*13+8=99

Now 15. 7*15+8=113

Now 18. 7*18+8=134

Lastly 20. 7*20+8=148

The answer is 13.

Answer:

Explanation:

7b + 8 < 100

subtract 8 from both sides

7b < 92

divide both sides by 7

b < 92/7 ≅ 13.1

Brian can buy at most 13 books.
