Patricia has $12 to spend at an arcade. The arcade charges $6 admission and $3 per hour to play as many games as she wants. Which inequality can be used to find any possible number of hours, x, Patricia can play games without spending more than $12?

Answer 1

X + 6 ≤ 12

Explanation:

3x + 6 ≤ 12

-6 -6

3x ≤ 6

/3 /3

x ≤ 2

Answer 2

The inequality is 6 + 3x ≤ 12 or x ≤ 2 .

Explanation:

Given that $6 is for admission which is a fixed amount, $3 is charged per hour and must not spend more than $12. So the inequality will be :

Let x be the no. of hours,

6 + 3x ≤ 12

Solve :

6 + 3x ≤ 12

3x ≤ 12 - 6

3x ≤ 6

x ≤ 6 ÷ 3

x ≤ 2
