At an end of the year sale, gabriela bought more than 12 bottles of hand soaps and lotions. if x represents the number of hand soaps and y represents the number of lotions she bought, which inequality best represents her purchase?
We are given with the situation where Gabriela is stated to have bought more than 12 bottles of hand soaps and lotions where x represents the number of hand soaps while y represents the number fo lotions. The inequality equation in this case is x + y > 12.
For this case we have the following variables:
x: represents the number of hand soaps
y: represents the number of lotions
We know that Gabriela bought more than 12 bottles of both products.
Therefore, the inequality that represents the problem is given by:
x + y> 12
Answer:
An inequality that best represents her purchase is:
x + y> 12
