Please help me! Think of a real-world situation that makes sense for the inequality y<-2x+20. Then, choose an ordered pair that is part of the solution set and explain the meaning of the ordered pair for your situation

Thats what the inequality looks like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know what it looks like, I mainly need a real world situation that applies to this inequality.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think of a situation where something decreases over time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have any examples?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe the maximum money you can make decreases over time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at 0 hours the max you can make is just less than 20 dollars

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at 10 hours you stop making money

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk, does that make sense? I'm sure there are better scenarios

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Other examples on different inequalities were like someone could buy so many pounds of apples x and so many pounds of oranges y with 12 dollars.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I'm not sure if that would apply to this question
