Decide whether the two inequalities are equivalent. Explain. b- 12 24: bs 16
O A Yes; if you solve the first inequality for b, you will get the second inequality.
o
B. No; if you graph both inequalities on the same number line, you will cover all real numbers.
O C. No; if you solve the first inequality for b, you will end up with an inequality with a different relation symbol than the second inequality
OD. No, if you graph both inequalities on the same graph, you will get b = 16.

D,no if you graph both inequalitiesvon thevsame geaph ,you will get b =16

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
