Which system of inequalities can be used to determine the number of pints of strawberries, x, and the number of pints of blueberries, y, that Sonya should buy.
A=(3x+y≥15)
(x+y≥8)
B=(15≥3x+y)
(8≥x+y)
c=(15≥3x+y)
(x+y≥8)
D=(3x+y≥15)
(8≥x+y)

Answer 1

Answer:

B)

15 ≥ 3x + y

8 ≥ x + y

Step-by-step explanation:

Strawberries= 3x

Blueberries= y

At least symbol= ≥

15 ≥ 3x + y (Plans to spend AT LEAST $15 so this has to be 15 ≥)

8 ≥ x + y (Plans to spend  AT LEAST 8 pints so this has to be 8 ≥)
