The local bowling alley charges $8 for 2 games of bowling and $3 for each additional game. You have a $20 bill. Let `x\ `stand for the total number of games you can bowl. Write an inequality to represent the total number of games you can bowl. Write the ORIGINAL inequality. Do NOT simplify.

8 + 3x ≤ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2 Games = $8

Additional Game = $3

Amount = $20

Required

Determine the inequality that represents the number of games

From the question, we understand that the minimum number of games that can be played is 2.

So, the expression can be:

Cost of 2 games + Cost of additional games ≤ Amount

This gives:

8 + 3 * x ≤ 20

Where x represents the additional number of games

By simplifying the expression, we have:

8 + 3x ≤ 20

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
