Marcia has $20 to purchase food for a party. Each bag of candy costs $3 and each bottle of soda costs $2. If x is the number of bags of candy she will purchase and y is the number of bottles of soda, which of the following could be a possible solution to the inequality? (4, 10) (1, 10) (10, 1) (3, 5)

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to start this off what you would do is multiply the item bye its variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bag = X soda + Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a you would multiply 4 x 3 and 10 x 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 x 3 = 12 10 x 2 + 20 12+20 =32 no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1x3 10x2 no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they go over 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x10 2x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

goes over 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x5 and 5 x 2 is closest to what we need so answer is possibly D so go with that
