Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Maximum capacity of hard drive = 500 GB

Space used up = 58 GB

Size per movie = 8GB

Number of movies = x

1)

[(Number of movies * size per movie) + used up space] should be less than or equal to the maximum capacity to f the drive.

From Elena's inequality, the total space taken up by movies + used up space is greater than total capacity of hard drive.

That is ;

[(8x + 58 ≤ 500

8x ≤ 500 - 58

8x ≤ 442

x ≤ 442 / 8

x ≤ 55.25

The maximum number of movies Elena can download is 55
