Question

Ou have $32 to spend at the music store. each cassette tape costs $5 and each cd costs $9. write a linear inequality that represents this situation. let x represent the number of tapes and y the number of cds.

Answer 1

Let x = # of tapes

Let y = # of cds

Since the amount you spend cannot go over 32 dollars, the amount you buy must be less than or equal to 32 dollars.

$5x+9y\leq32$
