Answer 1

Answer:

Inequality is 15 = 7.5 + 1.5x

x = 5, he can buy 5 sour straws

Step-by-step explanation:

For the inequality, just set the total money he has (15) equal to the total cost of the nachos (7.5) and sour straws (1.5)

Since we don't know how many straws he can buy, use a variable, I used x.

You get 15 = 7.5 + 1.5x, which solved out gives you x = 5.

Hopefully this helps - let me know if you have any questions!
