At the beginning of the 2016 season (his 21st season), kicker Adam Vinatieri had 2253 total points. Let x be the number of successful point-after tries and let y be the number of field goals. Write an inequality that shows how many successful point-after tries (1 point each) and/or field goals (3 points each) Vinatieri could kick in the 2016 season to surpass Andersen’s record of 2544 points. Convert the inequality to standard form. Enter your answers in the boxes.
