Answer:
The inequality Equation =
42 + 5x < 60
To stay within her budget of less than $60 she must use less than 3.6 Gigabytes
Step-by-step explanation:
Under her cell phone plan, Brooklyn pays a flat cost of $42 per month and $5 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill under $60 per month.
Let the number of gigabytes = x
Under $60 means less than $60
The inequality =
$42 + $5×x < $60
42 + 5x < 60
Solving for x
42 + 5x < 60
5x < 60 - 42
5x < 18
x < 18/5
x < 3.6 Giga bytes
Hence, to stay within her budget of less than $60 she must use less than 3.6 Gigabytes
