Let w be the additional watts you can add on the circuit.
1100 + w < 1800 (write the inequality)
-1100 -1100 ( - 1100 from each side)
w < 700 (simplify)
ANSWER:
You can add up to 700 watts to the circuit, which means that you can also plug in the clock radio and the blender.
LOOK BACK:
You can check that your answer is correct by adding the numbers of watts used by the microwave oven, clock radio and blender.
1100 + 50 + 300 = 1450
The circuit will not overload because the total wattage is less than 1800 watts.
It would be 5x?=60 because to find "?" you would need to divide 60 and 5. Since Hector earned 5 times what he did last week it would be modeled by 5 times "?"
6 times 12 is 72 so 14 times 12 would be 168 if that is what you are looking for. So for that y=168 :-)
The slope is a negative slope and the y-intercept is (0,2).
