A snack tray at a party has cheese squares with 2 grams of protein apiece and turkey slices with 3 grams of protein apiece. Which inequality represents the possible ways Nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein, if x is the number of cheese squares that she eats and y is the number of turkey slices that she eats?

Given:
cheese squares w/ 2 grams of protein a piece = x
turkey slices with 3 grams of protein a piece = y
Nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein.

The inequality is:

2x + 3y > 12

I used greater than or equal to because of the statement "12 or more". This means that the minimum number of proteins is equal to 12.
