Part 1: Use complete sentences to describe a real-world scenario that could be represented by the inequality 5x + 2y ≥ 45.

Part 2: Choose one ordered pair that is a solution to the given inequality and explain what that ordered pair means in the context of your real-world scenario.

Answer 1

Here's a simple one: How many $5 bills and $2 bills would you need to have at least $45?

An ordered pair that works: (7,5) = If you have 7 $5 bills and 10 $2 bills, you would have at least $45.

Answer 2

i would have 55$ but yea it could work because the sign is ≥ greater than or equal to soo yea thank you!

Answer 3

Right, there's lots of ordered pairs that would work for the second part, since there's lots of ways to have more than $45.
