Moe's Gym charges a fee of $15 to join and $30 per month. Big Mike's Gym charges a $30 fee to join and $20 per month. Which inequality could be used to determine after how many months(x) Big Mike's Gym would less than Moe's Gym.

• 15 + 30x > 30 + 20x

• 15x + 30 > 30x + 20

• 15 +30x < 30 + 20x

• 15x + 30 < 30x + 20

Michael bought a $12.99 CD and 3 packs of gum. Andie bough a different CD for $8.99 and 6 packs of gum. Each of them spent the exact same amount. Which equation below could be used to find g, the cost of one pack of gum?

• 12.99 + x = 8.99 + g

• 12.99 + 3x = 8.99 + 6x

• 12.99 + 8.99 = 3x + 6x

• 12.99 + 6x = 8.99 + 3x

Kendra bought some shirts for $10 on tax-free weekend. Whitney bought some of the shirts at a sale later for $8.50 each, but also paid $4.50 in sale tax. They bought the same number of shirts for the same amount. Which equation could be used to determine (x) the number of shirts they bought?

• 10x + 4.50 = 8.50x

• 8.50x + 4.50 = 10x

• 10 + x = 8.50 + 4.50

• 10x - 4.50 = 8.50 + x
