If x = the number of minutes, then, from the problem description you can write:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.36+%2B+0.21x+%3C=+3\" Solve this inequality for x. Subtract 0.36 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.21x+%3C=+2.64\" Now divide both sides by 0.21
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%3C=+12.57\"minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "A person could talk for almost 13 minutes without exceeding a cost of $3.00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
