Question

you now have a new logo and are considering ordering bumper stickers to promote the taco truck. each bumper sticker costs $2, and theres an $8 charge for shipping. youre allowed to spend up to $500, but no more.

create and solve an inequality to determine how many stickers you can buy. you can use \\(x\\) to represent the number of bumper stickers.

\\(2x + 8 \ge 500\\)
\\(x \ge 246\\)

\\(2x + 8 = 500\\)
\\(x = 246\\)

\\(2x + 8 \le 500\\)
\\(x \le 246\\)

\\(2x + 8 > 500\\)
\\(x > 246\\)
