Answer:
When you spend $45 or more, you get 3 free songs.
You already spent $15.
Then, if we define m as the amount that you need to spend in order to get the 3 free songs, the minimum value of m will be such that you spend exactly $45 in total.
$15 + m = $45.
But if you spend more than $45 you also get the songs, so the inequality that represents this situation is:
$15 + m ≥ $45.
2)Solving the equation for m we have:
m ≥ $45 - $15 = $30
m ≥ $30.
So the minimum amount that you can spend in order to get the songs is when the equality is true, this means that:
m = $30 is the minimum that you must spend if you want the 3 free songs.
