anonymous · Answer

you say walt spent more than . spent more than what?

anonymous · Answer

Oops. Ok ther I fixed it sorry :o
:D

anonymous · Answer

okay so think of it this way if b represents the price of each bagel then$$6b + 4.60>11.50$$

anonymous · Answer

this basically says that 6 bagels and 1 cream chase cost more than 11.50

anonymous · Answer

try to solve that do you know how?

anonymous · Answer

Um is it 27.6b > 11.5?

anonymous · Answer

b > 5/12 sorry this?

anonymous · Answer

okay, pretend the > was like an equal

Think 6b>11.5-4.60

anonymous · Answer

so 6b>6.9  now divide both sides by 6
what do you get?

anonymous · Answer

I got 6b > 1.15 :?

anonymous · Answer

how did you get that? the original equation is 6b + 4.60 > 11.5 so your first step is to subtract 4.60 from both sides.
