X is equal to 2 because thirty divide fifteen is two
<span>200 < 225 + 80x < 550
The 200 is the amount the Jenna currently have.
225 + 80x is the amount that Jenna has to pay given x number of hours.
550 is the sum of Jenna's 200 and additional 350 she can get by selling pre-ordered Cds. This is the maximum amount she can pay for the studio rental and sound technicians.
225 + 80x < 550
80x < 550 -225
80x < 325
80x / 80 < 325/80
x < 4.06 or 4 hours
225 + 80x </span>→ 225 + 80(4) = 225 + 320 = 545
<span>
The number of hours for the sound technician will range from 1 hour to 4 hours.
Assuming they will use 6 hours.
225 + 80(6) = 225 + 480 = 705
705 - 550 = 155
Jenna has to raise an additional $155 to pay off the studio rent and 6 hours of sound technicians.
