Question

You have $39 to spend at the music store. Each cassette tape costs $5 and each CD costs $11. Write a linear inequality that represents this situation. Let represent the number of tapes and the number of CDs.

Answer 1

Hello There!

My equation would be 5c + 11d <= 39

C represents cassete tape

D represents disk or the second letter of CD

Answer 2

To solve this I set tapes as X and CDs as Y and then multiplied each variable by the cost, respectively.

Next I set the inequality to be less than or equal to 39, because that is the amount of money you have.
