Josette found 16 coins in her purse. She had 2 more nickels than pennies and 7 fewer quarters than pennies. Josette modeled the
scenario in a table and then wrote the equation p + (p + 2) + (7 – p) = 16.
Is Josette’s equation correct? If not, what was her mistake.
A): Her equation is correct.
B): The variable should have been the number of nickels.
C): Instead of finding the sum, she needed to write an equation to find the difference.
D): The number of quarters was translated incorrectly and should be p – 7.

The expression for the inequality is:
We need to find which line represents this inequality. To do that we will use the left side of the inequality and rewrite it as a slope-intercept form. Which is done below:
The line for this inequality is "-5x -2". Where the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2. We can graph it as shown below:
