30 points PLEASE HELP !! The high school band and chorus are putting on a spring concert. The two groups together want to preform no more than 15 songs and the concert has to be 60min or less in length. Each piece the band performs is about 5min length.

Which system of inequalities best represents the number of songs the band performs (x) and the number of longs the chorus performs (y) for the concert? SEE PICTURE FOR ANSWER CHOICES .

the sum of all songs together should not exceed over 15
therefore

x + y \leqslant 15
and all songs put together should not take longer than 60 every song from the band takes 5 minutes (5x) and every song from the chorus take 3 minutes (3y) therefore


5x + 3y \leqslant 60
the answer is B (the second one)
