Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 35 greater than or equal to 14 + x

   35 - 14 = 21

   x = $21

b. If the shirt is 30% off it would cost $9.80

   14 x 0.3 = 4.2

   14 - 4.2 = 9.8

   35 is greater than or equal to 9.80 + x

   35 - 9.8 = 25.2

   x = $25.20

   This changes the inequality by making x greater than it was in part a

c. Yes, you do have enough money to buy the shirt that is on sale and a pair of pants. x is the amount that you have left to spend after you buy the shirt that is on sale. 25.20 is greater than the cost of the pants.
