Write a linear inequality in two variables to represent each problem situation. Remember
to define your variables.
15. Tanya is baking zucchini muffins and pumpkin muffins for a school event. She needs at
most 350 muffins for the event.

16. Hiro needs to buy new pens and pencils for school. Pencils cost $1 each and pens cost $3
each. He has $10 to spend.

17. A company manufactures lunchboxes using two machines. Machine A takes 2 minutes to
make one lunchbox and Machine B takes 3 minutes to make one lunchbox. The costs of
producing the lunchboxes are $5 using Machine A and $6 using Machine B. The company can
expense 60 hours of labor each week. The resources to make the lunchboxes must be at most
$8,400 each week. The system of linear inequalities represents this situation.

What does the solution (1200, 400) represent in real life?

18. Determine if the point is in the graphs solution set. (Graph if necessary)

Write a system of linear inequalities that represents each problem situation. Remember to
define your variables.
19. Jamal runs the bouncy house at a festival. The bouncy house can hold a maximum of
1200 pounds at one time. He estimates that adults weigh approximately 200 pounds and
children under 16 weigh approximately 100 pounds. For 1 four-minute session of bounce time,
Jamal charges adults $3 each and children $2 each. Jamal hopes to charge at least $24 for each
session.

20. The maximum capacity for an average passenger elevator is 15 people and 3000 pounds.
It is estimated that adults weigh approximately 200 pounds and children under 16 weigh
approximately 100 pounds.

21. Pablo’s pickup truck can carry a maximum of 1000 pounds. He is loading his truck with
20-pound bags of cement and 80-pound bags of cement. He hopes to load at least 10 bags of
cement into his truck.

22. Eiko is drawing caricatures at a fair for 8 hours. She can complete a small drawing in 15
minutes and charges $10 for the drawing. She can complete a larger drawing in 45 minutes and
charges $25 for the drawing. Eiko hopes to make at least $200 at the fair.

23. In your own words describe what does the shaded region of an inequality represents.

24. In your own words explain the difference between a dashed and solid line.

25. Write as system of inequalities for each of the graphs

26. Analyze the solution set for the system of linear inequalities to answer each question.

An electronics company is manufacturing electronic book readers. A basic model takes 4 hours
and $40 to make. A touch screen model takes 6 hours and $120 to make. The company has 10
employees working 12-hour days. The daily operating budget is $1920 per day for materials.
The company would like at least 3 basic models and 8 touch screen models produced per day.
The system of linear inequalities represents the problem situation. The graph shows the solution
set for the system of linear inequalities.

Let x represent the number of basic models.

Let y represent the number of touch screen models.

a. How many of each model should the company produce to minimize their daily cost?

b. How many of each model should the company produce to maximize the number of work
hours utilized per day?

c. The company earns $30 for each basic model sold and $50 for each touch screen model
sold. How many of each model should the company produce to maximize their profit?
