Answer 1

Answer: x>7

Explanation:

She spends more than $18, so we can write this as an inequality:

4+2x>18

Now, we can solve this inequality for

�

x to find the possible number of pounds of jelly beans she could have purchased:

2x>18−4

2x>14

To isolate x, divide both sides by 2:

x> 14/2

x>7

So, the compound inequality that shows the possible number of pounds of jelly beans she could have purchased is:

x>7

This means she must have purchased more than 7 pounds of jelly beans to spend more than $18 at the store.
