2-5 Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

Choose a point in the shaded solution region of each graph and test
it in the inequality. Does it satisfy the inequality? Tell whether the
solution region is correct or incorrect.

5. Marcus volunteers to work at a carnival booth selling raffle tickets.
The tickets cost $2 each or 3 for $5. His goal is to have at least
$250 in sales during his shift.
a. Let x be the number of tickets sold for $2 y
160
each. Let y be the number of tickets sold in
sets of 3 for $5. Write and graph an 140

inequality for the total number of tickets 120

Marcus must sell to meet his goal. 100
