Tatiana wants to buy friendship bracelets to her 32 classmates. she already has 5 bracelets, and she can buy more bracelets in packages of 4.

write an inequality to determine the number of packages, p, tatiana could buy to have enough bracelets.

will tatiana have enough bracelets if she buys 5 packages?

Number of Bracelets that Tatina possesses =5 Bracelets

Number of Classmates of Tatina =32

Number of Bracelets in a Package = 4

Number of Packages that tatina could buy = p

Writing an inequality to determine the number of packages

→5 +4 p ≥ 32

--If she buys 5 packages, p=4

LHS=5+4×5

=5+20

=25 ≤ 32

No, that will be not enough as there are 32 classmates.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
