a. You want to buy a shirt that costs $14. Identify an inequality that represents the amount of money, x (in dollars), you will have left if you buy the shirt.

x+14≥35

x+14≤35

x-35≥14

x-35≤14

Question 2

Solve the inequality.

The solution is.

Question 3

b. You notice that the shirt is on sale for 30% off. Identify the new inequality.

x+9.8≥35

x+35≤9.8

x+9.8≤35

x+9.8≤24.5
