Question

If you're any good at inequalities, please help!

Answer 1

Answer:

So the maximum amount of gasoline the tank can contain is 13 gallons and there are already 7 gallons of gasoline in the tank. Therefore, we want to make sure that the amount of gasoline put in the tank doesn't reach any higher than 13 gallon.

The amount of gasoline that Lou bought with x dollars is x/2.50 gallons.

We have the inequality:

x/2.50 + 7 ≤ 13

*If you solve it, x should be smaller or equal to $15.
