2. Jane bought three apples and two oranges. The total amount she paid was at most Php123.00. If x represents the cost of each apple and y represents the cost of each orange, which of the following mathematical statements represents the given situation? a 3x + 2y 123
b. 3x + 2y < 123
c. 3x + 2y > 123
d. 3x + 2y < 123

HELP M​

Your multiple-choice selection has a typo. Notice that choice b and d is the same answer.

For at most we use the (<) symbol.

$3 per apple = 3x.

$2 per orange = 2y.

3x + 2y < 123

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
