Question

In the inequality 2x + $15,000 is less then equal to $65,000, x represents the amount of a car loan. Which phrase most accurately describes the loan amount?

Answer 1

The maximum amount of loan should be $25000

Explanation:

we are given

In the inequality 2x + $15,000 is less then equal to $65,000

where

x represents the amount of a car loan

so, we get inequality as

`2x+15000\leq 65000`

Firstly, we will solve for x

We will subtract both sides by 15000

`2x+15000-15000\leq 65000-15000`

`2x\leq 50000`

Divide both sides by 2

we get

`x\leq 25000`

So,

The maximum amount of loan should be $25000
