Question

Brian will spend at most $32 on gifts. So far,he has spent $18. What are the possible additional amounts he will spend? Use c for the additional amount (in dollars) Brian will spend. Write your answer as an inequality solved for c.

Answer 1

$18+$c ≤ $32

Simplified: $c ≤ $32

Explanation:

18+c ≤ 32

Subtract 18 from both sides

c ≤ 14

We get this because Brian may or may not spend $32 and won't go over his budget.
