Answer 1

Die...? Of frustration?

Answer 2

Yep

Answer 3

Let's break this up, sound good? So she needs flowers for those vases and they cost $2 each. That's $2(f), mmkay?

Answer 4

Then, she needs 34 vases at $3, which is $3 x 34.

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

and it needs to be less than 238. so, we have $2(f), ($3 x 34) and <238. Now, we just need to figure out if we need to add or subtract the $2f and ($3 x 34). Any ideas?

Answer 7

add

Answer 8

Yep! So we end up with $2(f)+($3 x 34) < 238
