Ashley goes to the fair. She is charged $15.00 for admission plus $0.50 for each ride ticket. Ashley has $24.00 to spend at the fair. Write and solve an inequality to represent this situation. Explain what the solution to the inequality means in this situation.​

Step-by-step explanation:

t is the number of ride tickets she can buy.

=>

she has to pay $15 just for entering. the rest of the money she can use for ride tickets.

so, whatever she does, she has to stay inside the $24 limit, as she does not have more money.

the $15 admission goes off the $24 available money. that leaves $9.

each ride ticket costs $0.50, so she can buy max. 9/0.5 = 18 tickets. she can buy fewer tickets, but she cannot buy more than these 18 tickets.

so, again

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
