Question

The questions in the first section on a test are worth 3 points and the questions in the second section are worth 5 points. Let x represent the number of correct questions from the first section, and let y represent the number of correct questions from the second section. Sydney earned more than 80 points on the test. The inequality representing her score is 3x + 5y > 80.
