Answer 7

let me try

Answer 8

starts with 18
spends 4.25

18 - 4.25

spends .50 on each cracker

18 - 4.25 - 0.50*(#crackers)

all that should be greater than or equal to 9.75, the amount she needs to keep

Answer 9

I need to make an inequality and then solve it

@camerondoherty may you please help me.

Answer 13

i just told you the inequlity

Answer 14

18 - 4.25 - 0.50*(#crackers) is greater than or equal to 9.75

solve for (#crackers)

Answer 15

doesnt there need to be a variable

Answer 16

starts with 18
spends 4.25

left with 13.75

spends 0.50 per crackers ---0.50*(#crackers)

wants at least 9.75 left over

13.75 - 0.50*(#crackers) >= 9.75

Answer 17

\[13.75 - 9.75 \ge 0.5*(crackers)\]

Answer 18

\[4 \ge 0.5*(crackers)\]

\[8 \ge crackers\]

the amount of crackers she can get has to be less than or equal to 8

Answer 19

I mostly need the steps to solve it

Answer 20

13.75 - 0.50*(#crackers) >= 9.75

add 0.50*(crackers) to each side

13.75 >= 9.75 + 0.5*(crackers)

subtract 9.75 from both sides

4 >= 0.5*(crackers)

divide by 0.5 on both sides

8 >= (crackers)

eight is greater than or equal to the amount of crackers
