Write and solve an inequality to find how many messages Nadine can send and receive so that the unlimited plan is cheaper than paying for each message.

Nadine can send or receive a text message for 15 cents each, or she can get an unlimited number of messages for 5 dollars.

Let \( x \) represent the number of messages.

Set up the inequality:
\[ 0.15x > 5 \]

Solve for \( x \).

After solving the **equation **according to the given statement it is clear that if she **sends **or **receives **more than 33 text messages then she has to pay more than $ 5 .
What is inequality?
**Inequality **is a declaration of the **relation **of larger, greater or equal to, smaller, and less than or equal to between two digits or mathematical expressions. Either **queries **or theorems can be used to express **inequality **problems, and both can be solved using similar methods to those used to solve the equation .
As per the information obtained from the question,
$0.15x>$5.00
x>33.3333
So if she **sends **or receives more than 33 text messages, she will be paying more than $5.00 .

Nadine can send or receive a maximum of 33 messages before the unlimited texting plan becomes cheaper than paying per message. If she sends or receives more than 33 messages, the unlimited plan will be the more economical choice.
