Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.
1 answer:
Answer:
- solutions: (2, 10), (4, 5)
- non-solutions: all other points
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be useful to graph the inequalities related to Tyler's limits of money and weight.
1x +3y ≤ 36 . . . . . . the limit on the cost of the items Tyler can afford
1x +1.5y ≤ 20 . . . . . the limit on the weight of the items Tyler can carry
Then plotting the given points shows that only (2, 10) and (4, 5) are in the doubly-shaded area that is the solution space. The other points are not a solution.
