You are buying tickets for rides at a carnival. Tickets cost $2 each. You want to spend no more than $30 on tickets. Write an inequality to represent this situation.
2x<=30
number of tickets bought ---- x
2x ≤ 30
thanks, both of you
2x=30
34
To write an inequality representing this situation, let's assume "x" represents the number of tickets you want to purchase. Since each ticket costs $2, the total cost of the tickets can be calculated by multiplying the number of tickets by $2. Thus, the inequality for this situation would be:
2x ≤ 30
This inequality ensures that the total cost, represented by 2x, does not exceed $30.
