Answer:
a) [tex]42\leq 5t[/tex]
b) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The MAX is 42 basketballs, so it has to be either less than or equal to 42. each team wants 5 so you would multiply 5 basketballs per team (which is variable t)
b) Once you plug in 10 in replacement of 5 you get the inequality: [tex]42\leq 5 * 10[/tex]
once you figure it out you get [tex]42 \leq 50[/tex]. 50-42 = 8. Gopal should purchase at least 8 basketballs.
