Linear Programming with Inequalities

Sarah makes small purses (x) and big purses (y). She can make no more than 8 purses a week.
Which inequality represents the situation?

• x + y ≤ 8
• x + y ≤ 6
• 2x + 3y ≤ 6
• x + y ≤ 10

It takes Sarah 2 hours to make small purses and 3 hours to make big purses. She has a maximum of 18 hours a week. Which inequality represents this situation?

• 2x + 3y ≤ 18
• x + y ≤ 6
• x + y ≤ 9
• 3x + 2y ≤ 18

Sarah makes $30 for each small purse (x) and $50 for each big purse (y). What is the objective quantity?

• P = 30x + 50y
• P = 50x + 30y

Objective quantity:
P = 30x + 50y

• (0, 3) (3, 0) (5, 8)

• (0, 6) (3, 5) (6, 5)

• (3, 3) (8, 5) (5, 8)

• (0, 5) (6, 0) (3, 3)

What do you call the area where all the shading overlaps?

Write the system of inequalities
Carlos works at a movie theater selling tickets. The theater has 300 seats and charges $7.50 for adults and $5.50 for children. The theater expects to make at least $2000 for each showing.  

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y<300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000
• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≤2000
• x+y>2000
  7.5x+5.5y≤300
