[tex]5.7n + 4.25 \leqslant 18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of n nuts and bix of cookies that Annie buys must be less than or equal to $18.

[tex]5.7n + 4.25 \leqslant 18 \\ 5.7n \leqslant 13.75 \\ n \leqslant 2.4122807018 \\ n \leqslant 2 \\ [/tex]

N must be less than or equal to 2 because Annie cannot buy 2.4 bags of nuts and if she buys 3 bags of nuts she will not have enough money.

Answer:

no more than 2 (2 or less)

Step-by-step explanation:

n= nuts

c=cookies

5.70*n + 4.25*1 < 18.00

5.7n <,= 13.75

Divide both sides by 5.7

n<,= 2.412280

She can only buy 2 bags of nuts( cannot buy a fraction of a bag) It is not enough to buy 3 bags

5.7*2=11.4 11.4+4.25=15.65

15.65<,= 18.00
