Answer 1

For this case we have the following variables:

x: represents the number of hand soaps

y: represents the number of lotions

We know that Gabriela bought more than 12 bottles of both products.

Therefore, the inequality that represents the problem is given by:

x + y> 12

Answer:

An inequality that best represents her purchase is:

x + y> 12

Answer 2

We are given with the situation where Gabriela is stated to have bought more than 12 bottles of hand soaps and lotions where x represents the number of hand soaps while y represents the number fo lotions. The inequality equation in this case is x + y > 12.
