Answer 1

$5x + $4y ≤ $120

let x = 10

y = 5

$70 ≤ 120

Explanation:

Note that

> means greater than

< means less than

≥ means greater or equal to

≤ means less than or equal to

the total amount Shanley has is $120. She can spend less than this amount or the amount exactly. So, the inequality sign to be used is ≤

$5x + $4y ≤ $120

let x = 10

y = 5

(50) + 20 ≤ 120

$70 ≤ 120
