Writing Linear Inequalities

Write the linear inequality in standard form for this situation: Ms. Savva is ordering pizzas and breadsticks for a school party and has a budget of no more than $81. An order of breadsticks costs $7 and a pizza costs $13. 

• 7x + 13y < 81
• 7x + 13y ≥ 81
• 7x + 13y ≤ 81
• 7x + 13y > 81
