Let
x = the number of shorts bought
y = the number of t-shirts bought
A pair of shorts costs $16 and a t-shirt costs $10. Brandom has $100 to spend.
Therefore
16x + 10y ≤ 100
This may be written as
y ≤ - 1.6x + 10 (1)
Brandon wants at least 2 pairs of shorts. Therefore
x ≥ 2 (2)
Graph the equations y = -1.6x + 10 and x = 2.
The shaded region satisfies both inequalities.
Answer:
Two possible solutions are
(a) 3 pairs of shorts and 4 t-shirts,
(b) 4 pairs of shorts and 2 t-shirts.

Could you possibly add to this post what your goal is? Are you supposed to graph this inequality?
19-x≥21 can be solved for x. Please do that now. If you have the skill and the interest, please graph your solution.
Answer:
-4 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
(X+4)(x+2)
4×2=8
4+2=6
Answer:
x²+1/x² = 51
Explanation:
Given x - 1/x = 7 ---(1)
We know the algebraic identity:
a²+b²-2ab = (a-b)²
Or
a²+b² = (a-b)²+2ab
Now,
x²+1/x²
= (x-1/x)²+2*x*(1/x)
= (x-1/x)²+2
:7²+2 [ from (1)] =
= 49+2
= 51
Therefore,
x²+1/x² = 51
