    Answer:

    no

    Step-by-step explanation:

    0.35×3=$1.05

    0.99×2=$1.98

    add $0.59+$1.98+$1.05

    =$3.62

    Answer:

    No

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Understand the inequality

    The inequality 0.35x + 0.99y + 0.59 ≤ 3 contains 2 variables ‘x’ and ‘y’.  We can see the ‘x’ is multiplied by 0.35 which is the price of a sticker which means ‘x’ represents how many stickers Linda is buying.  The ‘y’ is multiplied by 0.99 which is the price of a eraser which means ‘y’ is how many erasers Linda is buying.  We ignore the 0.59 as that’s the price for a pencil but Linda doesn’t buy a pencil

    Step 2: Sub in the values

    0.35(3)+0.99(2)<3\\1.05+1.98<3\\3.03<3

    Step 3: Interpret the answer

    Because the equality isn’t true we can conlude Linda doesn’t have the money to buy 3 stickers and 2 erasers
