Jerome took $20 to the store to buy a book and some CDs. If he buys a book that costs $4.50, write an inequality to find the most he could spend on CDs.

y15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The Total Amount taken to the store by Jerome = $20

He buys a book worth $4.50

Let y be the most he could spend on CDs

Since he is spending on books and CDs, the amount spent cannot be more than total sum he has, therefore:

y+$4.5020

This is because he could spend either less than $20 or exactly $20

y20-4.50

y15.5 is the inequality to find the most he could spend on CDs.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
