Answer:
1. The first problem is wrong, it should be 0.5(3(15) + 2(20)) because the parentheses make sure that every purchased item is being divided by 2 (multiplying by 0.5 is the same as dividing by 2)
2. The second problem is partially correct. The first two answers you have checked are correct, but the last one is wrong. The third answer should be 6 + 12 instead because that's just a simplified version of 2(3) + 6(2), meaning they are equal
3. I cannot read your answers in the "Why or Why Not" column in the third problem, but the answers you gave in the "Evaluate" and "Does It Work?" columns are all correct.
Answer:
see attached diagram
Step-by-step explanation:
First, draw the dashed line 50x+150y=1500 (dashed because the inequality is without notion "or equal to"). You can do it finding x and y intercepts.
When x=0, then 150y=1500, y=10.
When y=0, then 50x=1500, x=30.
Connect points (0,10) and (30,0) to get needed dashed line.
Then determine which region (semiplane) you have to choose. Note that origin's coordinates (0,0) do not satisfy the inequality 50x + 150y>1500, because

This means that origin lies outside the needed region, so you have to choose the semiplane that do not contain origin (see attached diagram).
