Me on this one question! (10th grade level)  katie is buying souvenir gifts for her big family back home. she wants to buy everyone either a key chain or a magnet. the magnets are on sale for 50 cents each and the key chains cost $1 each. she must purchase at least 24 gifts but has to spend less than $20. let x represent the number of magnets and y represent the number of key chains. a. model the scenario with a system of inequalities. b. graph the system of inequalities and choose an appropriate solution for the scenario. use complete sentences to prove why the solution is appropriate.

 Let x represent the number of magnets and y represent the number of key chains.

She must purchase at least 24 gifts but has to spend less than $20.

x + y >= 24

0.5x + y < 20

An appropriate solution is x=20 and y=5.  They satisfy both inequalities:

x + y = 25 so it is more than 24.

0.5x + y = 15 so it is less than 20.

answ9x x 3=

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
