Answer:
The maximum number of volleyballs that she can buy is 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of volleyballs
we know that
The cost of each volleyball net ($28) by the number of volleyball nets (4) plus the cost of each volleyball ($7) multiplied by the number of volleyballs (x) must be less than or equal to $250
so
The inequality that represent this situation is
Solve for x
subtract 112 both sides
Divide by 7 both sides
therefore
The maximum number of volleyballs that she can buy is 19
I'm assuming you need to evaluate/simplify the equation, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:
2(3x + 1) = 11 Divide by 2 on both sides
3x + 1 = [11/2 or 5.5] Subtract by 1 on both sides
[make the denominator the same to combine fractions]
3x = Divide by 3 on both sides
x =
