Question

Please help me i really need help i dont understand

write an inequality for the folowing statement :

The sum of triple a number x and eight is atleast a number y.
Inequality : ___________

Cupcakes cost $2.00 each. Ballons cost $1.25 each. Her bill was no less than $25.00.Write an inequality that could be used to find n, the greatest possible number of cupcakes, and m, the greatest possible number of ballons , she bought. Inequality:____________

Answer 1

Answer:
Inequality #1 — 3x + 8 ≥ y
Inequality #2 — 2n + 1.25m ≥ 25

Step-by-step explanation:
• Inequality #1
“The sum” = addition (we‘ll be adding in this inequality)
“Of triple a number x” = 3x
“And eight” = + 8 (this is where we add)
“Is at least” = ≥
“A number y” = y
This give us the final inequality: 3x + 8 ≥ y

• Inequality #2
“$2 per cupcake” = 2n
“$1.25 per balloon” = 1.25m
“No less than $25” = ≥ 25
This gives us the final Inequality: 2n + 1.25m ≥ 25

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First problem: 3x + 8 ≥ y

Second problem: Represent the number of cupcakes with n and that of balloons by m. Then ($2/cupcake)(n) + ($1.25/balloon)(m) ≥ $25
