Lisa has only nickels and dimes in her money box. She knows that she has less than $15 in the box. Let x represent the number of nickels in the box and y represent the number of dimes in the box. Which of the following statements best describes the steps to graph the solution to the inequality in x and y? Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 5x + 10y = 1500, and shade the portion below the line for positive values of x and y. Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 5x + 10y = 1500, and shade the portion above the line for positive values of x and y. Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 10x + 5y = 1500, and shade the portion above the line for positive values of x and y. Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 10x − 5y = 1500, and shade the portion below the line for positive values of x and y.

bonez:

5x would accurately represent it, same with 10y for dimes. she has LESS than $15 in her box; shade downwards. If she wanted to have more than $15 or wants more than $15, it would be upward

bonez:

there you go?

Nevey:

so the answer is A?

bonez:

yes

Nevey:

ok then i read it right :) tyyyy
