Question

You have $59.95 in your wallet and want to buy some new CDs. If the CDs are $11.99 each, what number of CDs, x, can you buy?

Write and solve an inequality.

Answer 1

($59.99) x (1 CD)/($11.99) = # of CD's

Your answer will be in "CDs"

This is basically just dividing 59.99 by 11.99

Answer 2

Ok! It would be 5 cds! thanks! Can you help me with another Q?

Answer 3

The result of 6 subtracted from a number n is at least 2. What numbers are solutions?

n – 2 > 6; n > 8
n – 6 ≥ 2; n ≥ 8
n + 6 ≥ 2; n ≤ 4
n + 6 ≥ 2; n ≥ 4

Answer 4

*$59.95 And yes, you got the correct answer of 5. Good job. Sure, I'll give it a go.

Answer 5

Thanks!!

Answer 6

The result of 6 subtracted from a number n is at least 2. What numbers are solutions?

n – 2 > 6; n > 8
n – 6 ≥ 2; n ≥ 8
n + 6 ≥ 2; n ≤ 4
n + 6 ≥ 2; n ≥ 4

Answer 7

That would be the second choice for the answer.

Answer 8

Thanks! OK-I know this might be pushing it-but can you help me with ONE more?

Answer 9

Sure, ONE more. :-)

Answer 10

Yay! :) Ok:

g over -5 < –18

g < –23
g > –90
g > 90
g < 90

Answer 11

It would be the 3rd choice because when you multiply both sides by a negative number, -5 in this case, you have to reverse the direction of the inequality sign.

Answer 12

Ok! :) thanks!!!!
