Question

Hunter did not want to spend more than 150$ for a flight from Reno to Los Angeles. Write the inequality that models this situation and determine the first two possible solutions

Answer 1

`(a)\ x < 150`

`(b)\ x = 149; x = 148`

Explanation:

Given

`Amount = 150` --- not more than

`x \to` spending

Solving (a): Represent as an inequality

Not more than means <

So, the inequality is:

`Spending < Amount`

`x < 150`

Solving (b): The first two possible solutions

These are the numbers closest to 150 i.e. 149 and 148

Hence,
`x = 149; x = 148`
