(1) x represents the number of apples bought, y represents the number of bananas.

(2) each term represents the total costs of a given fruit, so 0.50x is the total cost of apples and 0.30y is total cost of bananas.

(3) The coefficients are unit prices: coefficient 0.50 is the price of 1 apple, 0.30 is the price of 1 banana.

Think of it as a normal linear equation first. Let's find the slope.
m = rise/run = (3-1)/(0-1) = -2
We know the slope is negative now, so we can immediately get rid of the first two answers. Now, we know that the solutions must be under the line itself, so we can try figuring it out by testing some points. Let's use (0,0).
Is 0 </> 0+3? Since it's <, then we know the last answer is correct (y < -2x + 3).

2x + 3(8 - 3x) = 3
2x + 24 -9x = 3
-7x = -21
x = 3

y = 8 - 3x
y = 8 - 3(3)
y = 8-9
y = -1

Check the math:
2(3) + 3(-1) = 6 - 3 = 3
