Question

HELP PLEASE!! A homeowner plans to buy fencing and a gate.

The homeowner can spend no more than $1,500.
The average cost of the fencing is $12 per foot.
The cost of the gate is $180.
Which inequality describes all the possible numbers, x, of feet of fencing that the homeowner can buy?
x ≤ 110
x < 110
x ≤ 140
x < 140

Answer 1

Answer: x ≤ 110

Explanation:

The inequality is 12x + 180 ≤ 1500

X represents the amount of fencing in feet.

Solving an inequality is just like an equation, so get x alone.

Subtract 180 from each side

12x ≤ 1320

Divide each side by 12

x ≤ 110

Hope this helps!
