Write a linear inequality to model the situation below: then solve for your unknown to determine how many cell phones the family can have:

a cell phone company charges $40 plus $15 per line each month. jake must spend less than $115 on his family's cell phone bill each month. how many cell phones can his family have?

Family can have less than 5 cell phones

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of cell phones

we know that

The inequality that represent this situation is

Solve for x

Subtract  40 both sides

Divide by 15 both sides

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
