Question

You want to buy a new bike, and your parents will contribute $32.50 toward the cost of the bike. If the most expensive bike is $50.00, how much will you have to spend on the bike? Solve the following inequality 50.00 > 32.50 + x and graph its solution.

Answer 1

the first step is to make it an equality
so
50=32.5+x

Answer 2

then you subtract 32.5 from both sides

Answer 3

17.5=x

Answer 4

Thank you!!!!

Answer 5

since 17.5 is the most you would have to contribute for the most expensive bike, it is

\[x\le17.5\]

Answer 6

do you need a graph?

Answer 7

nope thank you though!

Answer 8

alright, anytime :)
