Complete question is;

You have $110 to spend at the mall. You want to buy at most 6 articles of clothing. A clothing store sells shirts for $12 and pairs of pants for $18. You want to have at least $20 left over for food. Write a system of linear inequalities to represent the situation.

Answer:

x + y ≥ 6

110 - (12x + 18y) ≥ 20

Explanation:

Let x represent number of shirts

Let y represent number of pairs of pants.

You want to buy at most 6 articles of clothing.

Thus;

x + y ≥ 6

A clothing store sells shirts for $12 and pairs of pants for $18. You want to have at least $20 left over for food.

Thus;

110 - (12x + 18y) ≥ 20
