Luka and Dana are making cookies for the Westland Pantry. They only have up to 6 hours to bake! They can bake 32 chocolate chip cookies in an hour (x), and 20 snickerdoodle cookies in an hour (y). They need to make at least 150 cookies. Which inequalities represent the situation?

• x + y ≥ 6
  32x + 20y ≤ 150

• x + y ≥ 632
  x + 20y ≥ 150

• x + y ≤ 6
  32x + 20y ≤ 150

• x + y ≤ 6
  32x + 20y ≥ 150

Kate is selling bracelets and earrings on Etsy to make money for summer vacation. The bracelets (x) cost $2 and earrings (y) cost $3. She needs to make at least $100, but can only make up to 40 pieces of jewelry. Which inequalities represent this situation?

• 2x + 3y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 2y > 3

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 40y > 100

  3x + 2y ≤ 40

• 3x + 2y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40

What's the difference between systems of equations and systems of inequalities?

• Systems of equations have 1 solution, no solution, or infinite solutions while systems of inequalities can have a range of solutions.

• Systems of equations use slope-intercept form only while systems of inequalities use standard form only.

• Systems of equations have a shaded region while systems of inequalities do not.

• There is no difference.

JoAnn likes her job as a baby-sitter, but it pays only $3 per hour. She has been offered a job as a tutor that pays $6 per hour. Because of school, her parents only allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week. How many hours can JoAnn tutor and baby-sit and still make at least $66 per week? How much does she make?

• b + t < 15
  3b + 6t > 66
• b + t > 15
  3b + 6t < 66
• 3b + 6t > 15
  b + t < 66
• 3b + 6t < 15
  b + t < 66

Which point is a solution?

• (0, 6)
• (-3, 4)
• (1, 0)
• (-4, 3)
