(GIVING BRAINLIEST)Tyra's family is spending the afternoon in Millersville. They plan to see a movie and then explore the town.
The movie will cost the family $36, and parking costs $4 per hour. How long will the family be able to spend in Millersville if they want to spend less than $60 and they don’t have any other expenses?

So, after the move they can spend 6 hours there. (6×4=24, 24+36=60, they will spend $60 if they spend 6 hours there, $56 if they spend 5 hours there and don't want to spend $60).
4x + 36 > 60. I wrote the first part of the inequality(4x) by seeing the words, “Parking costs $4 per hour.” Since we don’t know the number of hours, the variable representing the number of hours would be x. Therefore, getting the first part of the inequality, 4x.
I added 32 because I saw the word ‘and’ after the word problem said that the movie will cost the family $36.
I used the less than sign because Tyra’s family wants to spend less than $60.
Number 2 is:
x < 6
My solution means that Tyra’s family will be able to spend 6 hours in Millersville if they want to spend less than $60.
