Charles can get at most 10 gallons of gas.

$53 - $3 for the water = $50 for gas
$50 / $5 per gallon = 10 gallons.
Find the solution to the inequality 3x−5≤28 .(1 point) x≤
To solve the inequality 3x - 5 ≤ 28, we first add 5 to both sides:

3x - 5 + 5 ≤ 28 + 5
3x ≤ 33

Then, we divide by 3 on both sides:

3x/3 ≤ 33/3
x ≤ 11

Therefore, the solution to the inequality 3x - 5 ≤ 28 is x ≤ 11.
India wants to make $97 selling plates of food. She sells each plate and a drink for $8. If she paid $7 for the drinks, use the inequality 8x−7≥97 to find at least how many plates she would have to sell to reach her goal.(1 point) India would have to sell at least plates.
To find out how many plates India would have to sell to reach her goal of making $97, we can use the following inequality:

8x - 7 ≥ 97

First, add $7 to both sides:

8x ≥ 104

Then, divide by 8 on both sides to solve for x:

x ≥ 13

Therefore, India would have to sell at least 13 plates to reach her goal of making $97.
