You have at most $20 to spend at an arcade. Arcade games cost $0.75 each, and snacks cost $2.25 each. Write an inequality that represents the numbers of games (x )you can play and snacks( y) you can buy.
The inequality is ??

Answer :

Answer:

y ≤ -1/3x+80/9

Step-by-step explanation:

(1). 0.75(x)+2.25(y) ≤ 20

0.75 - Number of arcade games (X).

2.25 - Number of snacks (Y).

20 - The total.

(2). 0.75x+2.25y≤20

(After multiplying the x's and y's together, with the numbers).  

(3). 0.75x (-0.75x) + 2.25y ≤ 20 (-0.75x)

(Subtract -0.75x to each side, which allows the equation to get closer to the answer).

(4). 2.25y       -0.75x + 20

   ————   =   ————

    2.25            2.25

(Divide by 2.25 to each side).

(5). y ≤ -1/3x + 80/9

(The result and the inequality).
