Let's assume that x represents the number of minutes you can listen to the Yodeling Pickle.

The cost to enter the fair is $2.00.

The cost per minute to listen to the Yodeling Pickle is $2.50.

The total cost to enter the fair and listen to the Yodeling Pickle for x minutes is given by the inequality:

2.50x + 2.00 ≤ 17.00

Now, let's solve the inequality step by step:

1. Subtract 2.00 from both sides of the inequality:
2.50x ≤ 17.00 - 2.00
2.50x ≤ 15.00

2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 2.50:
x ≤ 15.00 / 2.50
x ≤ 6

Therefore, you can listen to the Yodeling Pickle for a maximum of 6 minutes.

The solution with the inequality symbol is x ≤ 6.

Since x represents the number of minutes, we use a closed circle (≤) at 6 to indicate that 6 minutes is included in the solution.

Thus, the final representation on the number line would be:

<------------------|------(@===(=============)------|----------------->
0 6 (6 minutes)

Sure! Here are the steps using inverse operations:

1. Start with the inequality: 2.50x + 2.00 ≤ 17.00

2. Subtract 2.00 from both sides of the inequality:
2.50x ≤ 17.00 - 2.00
2.50x ≤ 15.00

3. Divide both sides of the inequality by 2.50 to isolate x:
(2.50x)/2.50 ≤ 15.00/2.50
x ≤ 6.00

Therefore, the inverse operations are: subtracting 2.00 and then dividing by 2.50.

In this case, since the solution is x ≤ 6, the circle on the number line would be closed and pointing to the left, indicating that 6 is included in the solution set.

The representation on the number line would be:

<------------------|------(@===(=============)------|----------------->
0 6 (6 minutes)
