You have $80. Jeans cost $29 and shirts cost $12. Mom told you to buy one pair of jeans and use the rest of the money to buy shirts. Find the inequality. Let j be the number of jeans. Let s be the number of shirts. We are given: [LIST] [*]Mom told you to buy one pair of jeans. So we have $80 to start with - $29 for 1 pair of jeans = $51 left over [/LIST] Now, since shirts cost $12 each, and our total number of shirts we can buy is s, our inequality is [B]12s <= 51[/B]. We want to find the s that makes this inequality true. [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/interval-notation-calculator.php?num=12s%3C%3D51&pl=Show+Interval+Notation']Run this statement through our calculator[/URL], and we get s <= 4.25. But, we need s to be an integer, so we have s <= 4.

You have to pay 29 a month until you reach 850 how many months will that take. Let m be the number of months. We set up the inequality: 29m > = 850 <-- We want to know when we meet or exceed 850, so we use greater than or equal to [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/interval-notation-calculator.php?num=29m%3E%3D850&pl=Show+Interval+Notation']Type this inequality into our search engine[/URL], and we get: m >= 29.31 We round up to the next integer month, to get [B]m = 30[/B].

you must be 65 or older to join inequality Let a be the age. 65 or older means greater than or equal to 65: [B]a >=65[/B]

Your brother has $2000 saved for a vacation. His airplane ticket is $637. Write and solve an inequality to find how much he can spend for everything else. Let x be the amount your brother can spend. Subtracting the cost of the plane ticket from savings, we have: x <= 2000 - 637 [B]x <= 1,363[/B]

The shortest person in a class is 55 inches tall and tallest person in that class is 75 inches tall. write an absolute value equation that requires the minimum and maximum height. Use X to represent heights. We write our inequality as: [B]55 <= X <= 75[/B]
