Question

Hunter did not want to spend more than 150$ for a flight from Reno to Los Angeles. Write the inequality that models this situation and determine the first two possible solutions

Answer 1

Answer:

$(a)\ x < 150$

$(b)\ x = 149; x = 148$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Amount = 150$ --- not more than

$x \to$ spending

Solving (a): Represent as an inequality

Not more than means <

So, the inequality is:

$Spending < Amount$

$x < 150$

Solving (b): The first two possible solutions

These are the numbers closest to 150 i.e. 149 and 148

Hence, $x = 149; x = 148$
