Thread: inequalities

Marcus can spend no more than $120 on jeans and shirts for school. He buys 3 pairs of jeans at $32 each. If x represents the dollar amount he can spend on shirts, which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the possible values for x ?



(A) (3) x 32- x ≤ 120
(B) (3) x 32- x ≥ 120
(C) (3) x 32+x ≤ 120
(D) (3) x 32+ x ≥ 120
(E) x ≤ (3) x 32

since he can spend no more than $120, that means that he can spend $120 or less than that.

the first spend is and the last is so the total amount is which can not exceed but it can be equal to hence our inequality is

Nevermind, the above post has given a full answer.
