$\"a\"$ = number of lower vases, in $
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3a\"$ = cost of $\"a\"$ flower vases, in $
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%2B3a\"$ = cost of $10 worth of flowers plus $\"a\"$ vases
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%2B3a%3C=70\"$ says that the cost of Christine's flowers and vases purchase
\n" ); document.write( "must be less than, or at most equal to $\"%22%24+70%22\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting $\"10\"$ from both sides of the inequalour
\n" ); document.write( "gives us an equivalent inequality:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3a%3C=70-10\"$ <---> $\"3a%3C=60\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying (or dividing) both sides by a positive number
\n" ); document.write( "gives us an equivalent inequality, so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%3C=60%2F3\"$ <---> $\"highlight%28a%3C=20%29\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
