The baby goat weighed 42 pounds at birth. He gained weight at a steady rate for the first 4 months until his weight reached 95 pounds.

What equation represents this situation?

• 4w = 95

• 42 + w = 95

• 95 = 4 + 42

• 95 = 4w + 42

Bobby got a $20 amazon gift card. He uses the gift card to buy a school binder for $7.99. He also wants to use the gift card to buy some markers. Each package of markers costs $4.29.

Which of these inequalities describes this situation, where n is the number of packs of markers Julie wants to buy?

• 7.99 + 4.29n ≤ 20

• 7.99 − 4.29n ≤ 20

• 7.99 + 4.29n ≥ 20

• 7.99 − 4.29n ≥ 20
