Graphing Systems of Linear Inequalities · Exercise 42
Translate to a system of inequalities and solve.
Jake does not want to spend more than $50 on bags of fertilizer and peat moss for his garden. Fertilizer costs $2 a bag and peat moss costs $5 a bag. Jake’s van can hold at most 20 bags.
ⓐ Write a system of inequalities to model this situation.
ⓑ Graph the system.
ⓒ Can he buy 15 bags of fertilizer and 4 bags of peat moss?
ⓓ Can he buy 10 bags of fertilizer and 10 bags of peat moss?
