Graphing Systems of Linear Inequalities · Exercise 43
Translate to a system of inequalities and solve.
Reiko needs to mail her Christmas cards and packages and wants to keep her mailing costs to no more than $500. The number of cards is at least 4 more than twice the number of packages. The cost of mailing a card (with pictures enclosed) is $3 and for a package the cost is $7.
ⓐ Write a system of inequalities to model this situation.
ⓑ Graph the system.
ⓒ Can she mail 60 cards and 26 packages?
ⓓ Can she mail 90 cards and 40 packages?
