Katy bought ''y'' markers for 3$ each.
And a notebook for $5.
Katy has to spend $17 or less, then the symbol for the situation would be (≤)
[tex]3y+5\leq17[/tex]Solve for y:
*As a first step subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3y+5-5\leq17-5 \\ 3y\leq12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, divide both sides by 3.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{3}y\leq\frac{12}{3} \\ y\leq4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Katy could buy 4 or fewer markers.
