Question

Catherine has $54. She plans to spend more than $20 of the money for a painting canvas. The rest will go toward paints. Each tube of paint costs $8.50. Assume that x represents the number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy.
The inequality that best represents this scenario is .
The number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy is

Answer 1

Answer;

4 or more tubes or paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

54- 8.50x > 20

-54               -54

 

-8.50x > -34

now you have to divide by -8.50 on both sides to get x alone.

-8.50x/-8.50 > -34/-8.50

x=4
