Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package. She planted 15 saplings and has at most 20 left. How many packages of saplings did she start with? What would the solution look like on a number line graph?
When Rita started, she had (A at least 7 ,B at most 7,C at most 4, D at least 4)
packages of saplings. The solution can be represented as (open circle, closed circle)
with an arrow to the (left,right)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original number of saplings.  Then the total number of saplings was 5x.

From these 5x saplings she planted 15 and had at most 20 left.

Rewriting this in symbolic form, we get:  5x - 15 ≤ 20.

Let's solve this for x.  Add 15 to both sides to isolate 5x:  5x ≤ 35,

Solving for x, we divide both sides of this inequality by 5:  x ≤ 7.

x represents the number of packages:  x ≤ 7.  

To graph this on a number line:  place a dot at x = 7 and then an arrow pointing to the left of x = 7.

When Rita started, she had at most 7 packages of saplings.
