Question

Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week. so far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours. write and solve an inequality to show how many hours of television julia can all watch this week.

Answer 1

X + 1.5 ≤ 5 X ≤ 3.5 "Julia is allows to watch no more than 5 hours of television" X ≤ 5 "She has watched 1.5 hours" X + 1.5 ≤ 5 So the inequality to solve is: X + 1.5 ≤ 5 Now to solve it, just subtract 1.5 from both sides: X + 1.5 ≤ 5 X + 1.5 - 1.5 ≤ 5 - 1.5 X ≤ 3.5 So Julia can watch up to 3.5 more hours of TV this week.
