Answer:
option A: x + 1.5y ≤ 20
option C: x + 3y ≤ 36
option D: x ≥ 0
option H: y ≥ 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It says to assume x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.
Since the number of items can not be a negative number, we have x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0.
Condition: He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.
Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.
If he buys 'x' packs of pasta and 'y' jars of pasta sauce, then:-
Total cost = 1x + 3y ≤ 36 dollars.
and Total weight = 1x + 1.5y ≤ 20 pounds.
Hence, we have four inequalities:-
option A: x + 1.5y ≤ 20
option C: x + 3y ≤ 36
option D: x ≥ 0
option H: y ≥ 0
