8t ≤ 136
are u sure
Yes, I am sure. The inequality 8t ≤ 136 represents the situation where the 8 members of the band want to order matching T-shirts without spending more than $136. In this inequality, "t" represents the cost of one T-shirt, and multiplying the cost by 8 (the number of members) gives the total cost of all the T-shirts, which should be less than or equal to $136.
i thought the answer was t ≤ 17
Yes, you are correct. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. The correct inequality representing the situation is:
t ≤ 17
This means that the cost of one shirt should be less than or equal to $17 in order for the band to order matching T-shirts without spending more than $136. Thank you for pointing that out.

How many suitcases averaging 25 pounds apiece can be loaded onto a plane that can hold a maximum of 1,750 pounds of storage? If s
represents the number of suitcases, how would you write an inequality expressing this situation?(1 point)

The inequality representing this situation would be:
25s ≤ 1750
This inequality means that the total weight of the suitcases (25 pounds each) should be less than or equal to the maximum weight capacity of the plane, which is 1750 pounds.
