Each tube of paint costs $8.50. Assume that x represents the number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy. The inequality that best represents this scenario is _. The number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy is _.

Answer 1

Answer:

Catherine can buy 3 tubes of paint

54-20 equals 34-8 equals 16-8 equals 8 so yea hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

x-------> represents the number of tubes of paint Catherine can buy

y------> the money to spend for a painting canvas

we know that

y > 20y>20 ------> inequality A

y=54-8.5xy=54−8.5x ------> equation B

substitute equation B in inequality A

54-8.5x > 2054−8.5x>20

therefore
