Linda has to buy stickers, erasers, and a pencil. She can only spend $3. A sticker costs $0.35, an eraser costs $0.99, and a pencil costs $0.59. Can Linda buy 3 stickers and 2 erasers? [Use the inequality 0.35x + 0.99y + 0.59 ≤ 3]

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Understand the inequality

The inequality 0.35x + 0.99y + 0.59 ≤ 3 contains 2 variables 'x' and 'y'.  We can see the 'x' is multiplied by 0.35 which is the price of a sticker which means 'x' represents how many stickers Linda is buying.  The 'y' is multiplied by 0.99 which is the price of a eraser which means 'y' is how many erasers Linda is buying.  We ignore the 0.59 as that's the price for a pencil but Linda doesn't buy a pencil

Step 2: Sub in the values

Step 3: Interpret the answer

Because the equality isn't true we can conlude Linda doesn't have the money to buy 3 stickers and 2 erasers

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
