Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

60-44

The inequality is $40 + 4x < $60 and she has to spend 5 gigabytes to stay within her budget

Note that:  

> means greater than

< means less than

≥ means greater than or equal to  

≤ less than or equal to  

The total amount Lily has to spend has to be less than $60

The total amount she can spend can be represented with this equation

Flat cost + variable cost < $60

Flat cost = $40

Variable cost = cost per gigabyte x gigabyte

$4 × x = $4x

$40 + 4x < $60

To solve for x, combine similar terms

$4x < $60 - $40

$4x < $20

x < 5
