Answer:
D) Abner can spend $60 per month on school clothes and $20 per month on gym clothes and stay within his budget.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the problem it states that Abner will spend 3 times more on (s)school clothes than (g) gym clothes.
So it would appear as s ≥ 3g.
If we plug in $60 as s (school clothes) and $20 as g (gym clothes), the statement is true.
60 ≥ 3(20)
60 ≥ 60. These numbers make the linear system true.
If you have trouble with this, an easy way to find this answer is simply creating the linear system that represents the problem, (he will buy 3 times more school clothes than gym clothes) s ≥ 3g and plug in each variable from the answer choices until you find the variables that make the linear system true.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
5x + 3 - 2x = 12 + 7x - 2
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 3x + 3 = 7x + 10
- [SPE] Subtract 3x on both sides: 3 = 4x + 10
- [SPE] Subtract 10 on both sides: -7 = 4x
- [DPE] Divide 4 on both sides: -7/4 = x
- Rewrite: x = -7/4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 5(-7/4) + 3 - 2(-7/4) = 12 + 7(-7/4) - 2
- Multiply: -35/4 + 3 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
- Add: -23/4 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
- Add: -9/4 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
- Subtract: -9/4 = -1/4 - 2
- Subtract: -9/4 = -9/4
Here we see that -9/4 does indeed equal -9/4.
∴ x = -7/4 is the solution to the equation.
Answer: Once
Step-by-step explanation: If you do 100 - 10 you get 90 as result, therefore you don't have 100 anymore making the only logical answer to this "ONCE".
You would plug in the ordered pair into the equation.
1. Put the y value from the ordered pair in the y spot, and the x value in the x spot.
2. add up the x side
Does it equal the y side?
Im a bit confused as the question says “<” at least on my end? I’m not sure if that’s just the way it ended up being written or if it means something. Sorry if my answer doesn’t apply :(. But if it does, I hope it helps!
