To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $36 and an additional fee of $5.60 per hour. The film club wants to spend at most $58.40 on renting the meeting room.
What are the possible amounts of time for which they could rent the meeting room?
Use t for the number of hours the meeting room is rented, and solve your inequality for 1.

t≤4

Step-by-step explanation:

58.40≥36+5.60t  

Solve like any equation

58.40≥36+5.60t  subtract 36 from both sides

22.40≥5.60t  divide by 5.60

t≤4

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
