Answer: According to the inequality Merlin make$350 last month, and each black beard costs $20.

He doesn't achieve his goal by selling 5 black beards and 10 red beards, but he can't relinquish because he only needs to sell one more beard to achieve his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, analyzing the inequality, the term on the right is the total amount that Merlin made last month (since is equal to the sum of the sales of the beards)

20B + 25R > 350

According to the inequality Merlin make$350 last month, and each black beard costs $20.

Since B is the number of black beards, the number that multiplies that variable is the cost of each black beard. (20)

If he sells 5 black beads and 10 red beards.

We have to replace the values in the inequality

20 (5) + 25 (10) = 350

He doesn't achieve his goal, because he sells the same amount (not more)

He can't relinquish because he only needs to sell one more beard to achieve his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that all black beards cost the same money

And all red beards cost $25

And B represents number of black beards

And R represents number of red beards

We have been given the inequality 20B+25R > 350 to show the target for this month.

The above inequality shows that Merlin needs to make more than 350, hence he made 350 last month

Further, it shows that B has been multiplied by 20, hence the black beard's cost was 20
