Micah is deciding which rooms in his house he is going to paint. Which situation is represented by the inequality 150 > 42.21 + 21.64x?

1 answer

The situation represented by the inequality 150 > 42.21 + 21.64x is a situation where the total cost of painting the rooms is less than $150.

This means that Micah is trying to determine the maximum number of rooms he can paint within a budget of $150. The inequality is used to calculate the cost of painting each room (42.21 + 21.64x) and ensure that the total cost does not exceed $150.
