We can say that he won't be able to go for the field trip, as per option 4. No, because the total will be $44, as the inequality 6.50x + 5.25y + 15.25 ≥ 45, is not satisfied.
What is linear inequality?
Linear equality is a non-equal (>, <, ≥, ≤) relation between two linear expressions.
How to solve the given question?
In the question, we are informed that Jade needs $45 to go on a field trip. He has saved $15.25. He earns $6.50 per hour cleaning his neighbor's garden, and he earns $5.25 per hour selling cakes at a store.
We are asked can Jade go on the field trip if he works in the garden for 2 hours and at the store for 3 hours.
We are given the inequality 6.50x + 5.25y + 15.25 ≥ 45.
In this inequality, we can say that x represents the number of hours Jade works in the garden, and y represents the number of hours at the cake store.
So, when Jade works for 2 hours in the garden and 3 hours at the store, the inequality can be written as:
6.50*2 + 5.25*3 + 15.25 ≥ 45.
or, 13 + 15.75 + 15.25 ≥ 45.
or, 44 ≥ 45, which is not true as 44 < 45.
Hence, we can say that he won't be able to go for the field trip, as per option 4. No, because the total will be $44, as the inequality 6.50x + 5.25y + 15.25 ≥ 45, is not satisfied.
