Question

Swell

Answer 1

whats the inequality symbol?
is it < or >

Answer 2

ok
an inequality for that is:
if adult tickets cost 5 dollars, and child tickets cost 2 dollars, how many of each ticket can be sold to sell $45 worth of tickets

since you only have one inequality in 2 variables, there are an infinite amount of answers

Answer 3

pick any two positive numbers you want

Answer 4

so let's say x = 2 and y = 4

5x + 2y >= 45

5(2) + 2(4) >= 45

10 + 8 >= 45

18 >= 45

is that last inequality true?

Answer 5

so (2,4) is NOT a solution to 5x + 2y >= 45

Answer 6

You need to find an ordered pair that is a solution to 5x + 2y >= 45

Answer 7

can you graph 5x + 2y >= 45

Answer 8

ok good, so you'll have a line got through the point (0, 22.5) and it has a slope of -5/2

Answer 9

go through*

Answer 10

exactly

Answer 11

any point above the line will be in the solution region...which is where values of x and y satisfy 5x + 2y >= 45

Answer 12

for example, the point (10,10) is above this line, so

5x + 2y >= 45

5*10 + 2*10 >= 45

50 + 20 >= 45

70 >= 45

which is true, so (10,10) is a solution

Answer 13

You have to find an ordered pair that is a solution then describe what that solution means in the current context

Answer 14

that works

Answer 15

just add more context (like say what x and y are and such)
