1. **Problem 1:** Anna has 500 and wants to buy notebooks costing 45 each. We need to find how many notebooks she can buy.
2. **Write the inequality:** Let $x$ be the number of notebooks. The total cost is $45x$ which must be less than or equal to 500 because she cannot spend more than she has.
$$45x \leq 500$$
3. **Solve the inequality:** Divide both sides by 45:
$$x \leq \frac{500}{45}$$
Simplify the fraction:
$$x \leq 11.11...$$
Since $x$ must be a whole number (you can't buy a fraction of a notebook), the maximum number of notebooks is 11.
4. **Answer:** Anna can buy up to 11 notebooks.
5. **Problem 2:** Solve and graph the inequality $x + 2 < 6$.
6. **Solve:** Subtract 2 from both sides:
$$x < 6 - 2$$
$$x < 4$$
7. **Problem 3:** Solve and graph the inequality $2x \geq 10$.
8. **Solve:** Divide both sides by 2:
$$x \geq \frac{10}{2}$$
$$x \geq 5$$
9. **Problem 4:** Solve and graph the inequality $-x + 3 > 1$.
10. **Solve:** Subtract 3 from both sides:
$$-x > 1 - 3$$
$$-x > -2$$
Multiply both sides by -1 and reverse the inequality sign:
$$x < 2$$
**Summary of solutions:**
- $x \leq 11$ (number of notebooks)
- $x < 4$
- $x \geq 5$
- $x < 2$
These inequalities can be graphed on a number line showing the solution regions accordingly.
