Question

felipe has already spent 6 dollars on fabric. he will spend at most 15 dollars on fabric. lets look at the possible numbers of additional dollars felipe will spend on fabric.
(a) fill in the blanks to write an inequality that can be used to find ( x ), the number of additional dollars felipe will spend on fabric. choose only from ( 6 + x ), ( 6 - x ), ( x - 6 ), ( 6x ), ( \frac{6}{x} ), ( \frac{x}{6} ), ( < ), ( leq ), ( > ), ( geq ), or 15.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

Felipe has spent 6 dollars and will spend \( x \) additional dollars. The total spent is \( 6 + x \), and this total is at most 15 dollars. "At most" means less than or equal to.

Step2: Form the inequality

So the inequality is \( 6 + x \leq 15 \).

Answer:

\( 6 + x \leq 15 \)
