Question

Michael has $15 and wants to buy a combination of school lunches to feed at least three classmates. A sandwich costs $2, and hot lunch costs $3.
This system of inequalities models the scenario:
2x + 3y = 15
x + y 23
Part A: Describe the graph of the system of inequalities, including shading and the types of lines graphed. Provide a description of the solution set, (4
points)
Part B: Is the point (5, 1) included in the solution area for the system? Justify your answer mathematically. (3 points)
Part C: Choose a point in the solution set and interpret what it means in terms of the real-world context. (3 points)

Answer 1

A. Solution set is in the attachment (dark green shading in the middle)

B. Yes, 2(5) + 3(1) ≤ 15; 13 is less than or equal to 15

5 + 1 > 3, 6 is greater than 3

C. (4, 2) means that he buys 4 sandwiches and 2 hot lunches
