Answer and Explanation:
Gina wanted to swim at the pool. She is allowed to spend at most $30. The cost to swim in the pool is 3 dollars per hour plus a flat fee of $3. How many hours can Gina swim without going over her spending limit?
This problem can be represented by .
'x' would be the number of hours. "At most" means less than or equal to. So, the value of x would have to be less than or equal to 30.
So, Gina would have a maximum of 9 hours to swim in the pool.
Hope this helps.
