Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality Equation =

42 + 5x < 60

To stay within her budget of less than $60 she must use less than 3.6 Gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

Under her cell phone plan, Brooklyn pays a flat cost of $42 per month and $5 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill under $60 per month.

Let the number of gigabytes = x

Under $60 means less than $60

The inequality =

$42 + $5×x < $60

42 + 5x < 60

Solving for x

42 + 5x < 60

5x < 60 - 42

5x < 18

x < 18/5

x < 3.6 Giga bytes

Hence, to stay within her budget of less than $60 she must use less than 3.6 Gigabytes
