Solve multi-step inequalities, including reversing the inequality when appropriate.
Model and solve a grouped context inequality
Problem
Each of \(4\) kits contains \(x\) pencils and \(2\) markers, with at most \(28\) items altogether. Let \(x\) be a nonnegative whole number. Which complete response correctly handles the situation?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Treat one kit as a single group containing x pencils and two markers, then repeat that entire group four times. Keeping the parentheses prevents the two markers from being counted only once. Apply the inclusive item limit, undo the four equal groups, and remove the markers before intersecting the bound with the nonnegative whole-number pencil counts.
