Question

You buy a storage rack that holds 40 CDs. You have 27 CDs. Write an inequality that describes how many more CDS you can buy and still have no more CDs than the rack can hoId. You buy 15 CDs. Will they all still fit.

Answer 1

x+27 ≤ 40

You cannot buy more than 13

If you buy 15 they will not fit

Explanation:

To determine the number of CD's that will still fit

The number of CD's must be less than or equal to 40

You already have 27.

Let x be the number you are going to buy

x+27 ≤ 40

Subtract 27 from each side

x+27-27 ≤ 40

x ≤ 13

You cannot buy more than 13

If you buy 15 they will not fit
