Problem

Solving \& graphing equivalent inequalities with negative $x$. Patricia has $\$ 12$ to spend at an arcade. The arcade charges $\$ 6$ admission and $\$ 3$ per hour to play as many games as she wants. Which inequality can be used to find any possible number of hours, $x$, Patricia can play games without spending more than $\$ 12$ ? \[ \begin{array}{ll} \text { A } & 6+3 x \leq 12 \\ \text { B } & 6-3 x \leq 12 \\ \text { C } & 12 \leq 6+3 x \\ \text { D } & 12 \leq 6-3 x \end{array} \]

Solution

Step 1 :Find the inequality representing the total cost: \(6 + 3x \leq 12\)

Step 2 :Solve the inequality: \(x \leq 2\)

Step 3 :\(\boxed{x \leq 2}\)
