2. A system of linear inequalities is made up of two or more inequalities.

3. A linear inequality in two variables is an inequality that is in the same form


as a linear equation in two variables, but with an inequality symbol instead
of an equal sign.

4. A solution of a system of linear inequalities is an ordered pair that makes


all of the inequalities in the system true.

5. The solution of an inequality in two variables is the set of all ordered


pairs that satisfy the inequalities in the system.

6. Graph the equations y = 5x + 4 and y = −3x − 8 on a graphing device and


use the intersect feature. The point of intersection, ( 1.5, 3.5), is the exact
solution to the system.

7. Graph the equations y = −3x − 7 and y = 1.5x + 4 on a graphing device


and use the intersect feature. The point of intersection, approximately
(−2.5, 0.4), is the solution to the system.

8. The line shown in the graph has slope 1.5 and y-intercept 4 and a y-
intercept that is less than 3. The graph of y = 1.5x + 4.5 has the same
slope and a different y-intercept. So, the lines are parallel and there is no
solution to the system.
9. Let x = the number of people and y = the total charges. The equations that
model the situation are:

A+ Food: y = 35x + 75

Super Cater: y = 38x

Both equations are solved for y, so set the expressions for y equal to each
other and solve for x.

Solve for y.

y = 38(25) = 950

The solution is (25, 950). This indicates that it costs $950 to buy 25 gift
baskets from both companies. For 28 guests:

A+ Food: y = 35(28) + 75 = $1,055

Super Cater: y = 38(28) = $1,064

Kiyo should use A+ Food if she expects 28 guests.

10. y = 5x − 2

3x − 5y = 4

Substitute for y in the second equation and solve for x.

Solve for y.

The solution is .
11. y = 2x − 3

y = 8 − 2x

Set the equations equal to each other and solve for x.

Solve for y.

The solution is .

12. x = 4y − 8

3x − 6y = 12

Substitute for x in the second equation and solve for y.

Solve for x.

The solution is (16, 6).


13. y = 2.5x − 8

3x + 5y = 12

Substitute for y in the second equation and solve for x.

Solve for y.

The solution is approximately (3.355, 0.388).

14. 3y = 3x − 9

y−2=x

Substitute for y in the first equation and solve for x.

The statement 0 = 15 is false, so there is no solution to the system.

15. 3x − 4y = 12

x=y+3

Rewrite the first equation to show that it is equivalent to the second


equation.

The equations are equivalent, so there are infinitely many solutions.


16. Solve for the width, w.

Solve for the length l.

The room is 12 ft long and 8 ft wide.

17. Let x = the number of boxed action figures. Let y = the number of collector
pins.

Solve for y.

Solve for x.

Benson has 152 boxed action figures, and 94 collector pins.

18. 2x − y = −2

3x − 2y = 4

( 8, 14)

19. 5x − 2y = 10

4x + 3y = 6
20. 2x 3y = 14

5x 2y = 8

and

4x 6y = 28

15x + 6y = 24

Yes, the systems are equivalent; The equation 4x 6y = 28 is 2 times the


equation and the equation 15x + 6y = 24 is 3 times the
equation .

21. 3x 4y = 6

2x + 5y = 1

and

6x 8y = 12

6x + 15y = 3

No, the systems are not equivalent; There is no number you could multiply
by to get 6x 8y = 12.

22. No; If either the x- or y-value is the same in both equations, then you can
eliminate one variable using addition or subtraction.
23. Let x = packs of paper and y = packs of pens.

Carmen: 5x + 3y = 36.6

Alicia: 6x + 6y = 53.4

Multiply the first equation by 2 and add the equations to eliminate the y-
terms and solve for x.

pens = $3.95/pack, paper = $4.95/pack

24. Yes; the ordered pair (2, 5) is within the shaded region, so it is a solution to
the inequality.

25. No; the ordered pair (3, 1) is not within the shaded region, so it is not a
solution to the inequality.

26. Yes; the ordered pair ( 2, 4) is within the shaded region, so it is a solution to
the inequality.
27. To graph y > 4x − 9, graph a dashed boundary line y = 4x 9, and shade
above the line.

28. To graph y ≤ 1.5x + 4, graph a solid boundary line y = 1.5x + 4, and shade
below the line.

29. Answers may vary. Sample: y < x + 4


30. Let x = large boxes and y = small boxes. The inequality that models this
situation is 65x + 35y ≤ 500.

For 6 small boxes,

He can afford to buy 4 large gift boxes.

31. To graph y < 2x + 3, graph a dashed boundary line y = 2x + 3, and shade


below the line.

To graph y ≤ −3x + 1, graph a solid boundary line y = −3x + 1, and shade


below the line.
32. To graph y ≥ 4x, graph a solid boundary line y = 4x, and shade above the
line.

To graph y < x 5, graph a dashed boundary line y = x 5, and shade


below the line.

33. Add the inequalities x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 to any system to indicate that only
answers in the first quadrant make sense.
34. Let x = the number of bracelets, y = the number of necklaces. She can
make up to 60 pieces per week, so x + y ≤ 60. She can only make up to 40
bracelets and 40 necklaces, so x ≤ 40 and y ≤ 40. She wants to sell at least
30 per week, so x + y ≥ 30. Only positive values make sense, so x ≥ 0 and
y ≥ 0. The system is:

x + y ≤ 60

x + y ≥ 30

x≥0

x ≤ 40

y≥0

y ≤ 40

She can make the most money if she sells the maximum number of
necklaces, since those sell for more money. The most she can make is 40
necklaces. She can’t make more than 60 pieces per week, so she can make
20 bracelets. So, the maximum she can make is 40($80) + 20($5) = $3,300
for 40 necklaces and 20 bracelets.
