Answer: B) 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by isolating x by subtracting 2.5 from both sides
This reads as "x is less than 17.5"
D can be eliminated because it is greater than 17.5
C can be eliminated because 17.5 can't be less than itself
So the answer must be B since it is less than 17.5 and greater than A

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of folders with paper Jessica buys. If Jessica buys x folders for $3.89 each, then she pays $3.89x for all x folders.
She wants to buy one backpack for $36.25, so her total buying costs
$36.25 + $3.89x
Jessica saved a total of $58.50 to spend on school supplies, then her total buying cannot exceed this sum, so
You just subtract 3 from each side and then simplify (12 - 3) which is 9.
The final result is: x ≥ 9.
