Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First problem:  3x + 8 ≥ y  

Second problem:  Represent the number of cupcakes with n and that of balloons by m.  Then ($2/cupcake)(n) + ($1.25/balloon)(m) ≥ $25

Answer:
Inequality #1 — 3x + 8 ≥ y
Inequality #2 — 2n + 1.25m ≥ 25

Explanation:
• Inequality #1
“The sum” = addition (we‘ll be adding in this inequality)
“Of triple a number x” = 3x
“And eight” = + 8 (this is where we add)
“Is at least” = ≥
“A number y” = y
This give us the final inequality: 3x + 8 ≥ y

• Inequality #2
“$2 per cupcake” = 2n
“$1.25 per balloon” = 1.25m
“No less than $25” = ≥ 25
This gives us the final Inequality: 2n + 1.25m ≥ 25
