You have to make an inequality:
1.2x + 6 ≤ 20
- 6 - 6 isolate x
1.2x ≤ 14
÷1.2 ÷1.2 isolate x
x ≤ 11.666
Since you can't buy 2/3 of a pack, she can only buy 11 pieces of gum.

Answer :The first one
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of months she has been saving for.
20x - 60 = 280
Solve for x.
20x - 60 = 280
~Add 60 to both sides
20x - 60 + 60 = 280 + 60
~Simplify
20x = 340
~Divide 20 to both sides
20x/20 = 340/20
~Simplify
x = 17
Therefore, Melanie has saved for 17 months.
Best of Luck!
