Gianna is preparing for the upcoming tennis season. According to her schedule, she can complete at most 10 workouts this week. I
Strike441 [17]
The whole number of minutes that Gianna complete each week as a function of x and y:
45x+30y
Since the above number is greater than 450 minutes, we get the inequality:
45x+30y\geq450
Also, "she can complete at most 10 workouts this week" so we deduce the inequality:
\\x+y\leq10
Therefore, the system of inequalities is the following:
45x+30y\geq450
\\x+y\leq10
The above system has many solutions, for example :
