Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total spent on activity ≤ Total cash available to spend
Given a $4 fee per game.
g = the number of games bowled.
The total spent for bowling g games is 4(g), (This does not include the $10 entrance fee).
Given that Jordan does not want to spend more than $30 at the bowling alley, the equation will include $30 on the right side of the equation with a less than or equal to inequality sign positioned immediately before the $30 value.
Total spent for bowling g games + Entrance Fee ≤ Total Available to Spend
4g + 10 ≤ 30
SOLUTION:
4g + 10 ≤ 30
4g ≤ 20 (Subtract 10 from each side)
g ≤ 5 (Divide each side by 4)
The number of games bowled is 5 or any number of games less than 5.
Noteworthy (not part of the solution):
In this example, we did not divide both sides of the equation by a negative integer; instead we divided both sides by positive 4. Notice the inequality sign did not change. (We did not 'flip it'.) If it had been necessary to divide both sides of the equation by a negative integer to arrive at the solution, then we would have had to change the inequality sign FROM: 'less than or equal to' TO: 'greater than or equal to'.
