Answer:

The required inequality is 40-6b\leq 10.

Jhon can buy at most 5 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part(A)

Let b represent the number of books John buys.

He wants at least $10 in his savings account which means if we subtract the cost of books from $40 we have at least $10 left.

40-6b\leq 10

The required inequality is 40-6b\leq 10.

Part(B)

40-6b\leq 10

-6b\leq 10-40

b \leq\frac{30}{6}

b\leq 5

Part(C):  Jhon can buy at most 5 books.

schepotkina [342]
Given the stated equation we know that that quadratic formula has 2 as its degree. This meats it has 2 roots. A linear equation has a degree of 1. A linear equation has 1 root. To know if they intersect, the must have one root in common. To know this, solve the two equation simultaneously. If they result to an answer then they intersect.
