Agrocery store sells almonds for $7/lb and peanuts for $5/lb. let x represent the number of pounds of almonds, and let y represents the number of pounds of peanuts. which inequality can be used to find how much of each type of nut can bought without spending more than $10?

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds, and let y represents the number of pounds of peanuts.

We have been given that a grocery store sells almonds for $7/lb, so the cost of x pounds of almonds would be 7x.

We are also told that the grocery store sells peanuts for $5/lb, so the cost of y pounds of peanuts would be 5y.

Since we need to find the inequality that represents amount of each type of nut we can bought without spending more than $10, so the cost of x pounds of almonds and y pounds of peanuts should be less than or equal to 10

Therefore, our required inequality would be .

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
