Answer:
5y + 8 < 23 and y < 3
2c - 3 = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
She bought a jewelry at a craft fair . The necklace is $8 and the bracelet is $5 each. Her total expenses is $23.
She bought a single necklace. The number of bracelet she bought is unknown but each of the bracelet she bought is $5 each. The number of bracelet she bought can be represented below.
Let
y = number of bracelet bought
Therefore, the cost of the total number of bracelet will be 5y
Recall the total expenses is $23
5y + 8 < 23 and y < 3
if you insert the value of y in the following inequalities the resulting value should be less than 23 so the value of y should be less than 3.
2. 2c - 3 = 9
