Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack. Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar. Let x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce. Identify each point as either a solution to the system or not a solution to the system of inequalities.

Okay, this one is easy, but tricky!

i would probably start by plugging in the X and Y values.

Max X = 20

Max Y = 36.

I'm positive that you can solve from there.
