Let's call the maximum number of speakers that Michael can buy x.
The cost of the television is $496.17.
The cost of x speakers is $40.00 * x.
The total cost of the television and the speakers is $496.17 + $40.00 * x.
Michael does not want to spend more than $1,086.09, so the inequality would be:
496.17 + 40.00 * x ≤ 1,086.09. Answer: \boxed{496.17 + 40.00x \le 1086.09}.
Michael has $1,086.09 in his checking account. He is going to spend $496.17 on a new television, and he will spend the rest on speakers that cost $40.00 each. Which of the following inequalities would determine the maximum number of speakers, x, Michael can buy without spending more money than he has in his account?
