the inequality is:
$38 + $3*x < $80
And the solution is:
x < 14.
How to find the inequality?
We know that Violet's plan has a flat cost of $38 plus $3 per gigabyte.
So, if we define x as the number of gigabytes that Violet uses, then the monthly cost is given by:
C(x)= $38 + x*$3
And she wants to spend less than $80 per month, so we can write the inequality:
$38 + $3*x < $80
Solving that for x we get:
$3*x < $80 - $38 = $42
x < $42/$3
x < 14
We conclude that she needs to use less than 14 gigabytes per month.
