Answer:

total money = 50

money remained = 28

money can be used = 50 - 28 = 22

Max item that can be purchased = 22 ÷ 4 = 5

+ 2 remainder.

items buy = 5

total money left = 30

Answer:

5 gifts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Cost of one gift = $4
Total money = $50
Money left after purchasing gifts = at least $28

Let x = greatest number of gifts James can buy

Create an inequality with the given information:

⇒ 50 - 4x ≥ 28

Solve the inequality

Add 4x to both sides:

⇒ 50 - 4x + 4x ≥ 28 + 4x

⇒ 50 ≥ 28 + 4x

Subtract 28 from both sides:

⇒ 50 - 28 ≥ 28 + 4x - 28

⇒ 22 ≥ 4x

Divide both sides by 4

⇒ 22 ÷ 4 ≥ 4x ÷ 4

⇒ 5.5 ≥ x

⇒ x ≤ 5.5

We must round down to 5 as if James buys 6 gifts, he will only have $26 remaining. Therefore, the greatest number of gifts James can buy is 5 gifts.

The inequality of the graph

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y > 4x - 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from the y-intercept of $\displaystyle [0, -2],$ you do $\displaystyle \frac{rise}{run}$ by either moving four blocks south over one block west or four blocks north over one block east [west and south are negatives]. Next, we have to determine the types of inequality symbols that are suitable for this graph, which will be less than and greater than since this is a dashed line graph. We then use the zero-interval test [test point (0, 0)] to ensure whether we shade the opposite portion [portion that does not contain the origin] or the portion that DOES contain the origin. At this step, we must verify the inequalities as false or true:
