Question

a x ≥ 7
b x ≤ 16
c x ≤ 7
d x ≥ 16
(the signs are less or equal to and more or equal to)

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Morgan has $60. That is his spending limit.

He buys a pair of jeans for $25.

Each T-shirt is $5

We don't know how many t-shirts he can buy, so we can represent it with a variable, x

so,

`25 + 5x \leq 60\\5x \leq 60 - 25\\5x \leq 35\\x \leq (35)/(5) \\x\leq 7`
