99 asap! and answer both questions by there self. alex sells t-shirts. it costs alex $6.50 to buy each t-shirt. alex also pays $156 each month to rent equipment to add print to the t-shirts.

alex sells each t-shirt for $12.50.

1. write an inequality that can be used to determine the number of t-shirts (t) alex must sell each month in order to make a profit for the month. (assume that alex sells each t-shirt he buys.)

2. what is the minimum number of t-shirts alex must sell in order to make a profit in a given month? remember this is an inequality not an equation.(assume that alex sells each t-shirt he buys.)

1) 6.50t + 156 < 12.50t

2) t > 26

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to put all the money Alex spends on one side of the inequality, and all the money Alex earns on the other side. To make a profit, the earning side has to be greater than the spending side.

Solve your inequality by isolating the variable.

6.50t + 156 < 12.50t

156 < 12.50t - 6.50t

156 < 6t

156/6 < t

26 < t

Alex must sell greater than 26 shirts to make a profit each month.

1. 6.50t + 156 < 12.50t

2. t > 26

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to have the inequality

Isolate the variable

6.50t + 156 < 12.50t

156 < 12.50t - 6.50t

Combine like terms

156 < 6t

divide both sides by 6

156/6 < t

Combine like terms

26 < t

Alex must sell greater than 26 shirts to make a profit each month.
