Question

1) You can spend at most $24 at the fair. Game

tickets cost $2 each, and ride tickets cost $4

each. You want to buy at least 3 game tickets

and more than 2 ride tickets. Write a system

of linear inequalities that represents the

situation. How many of each ticket can you

buy?

Answer 1

2x+4y= 24

x≥3

y≤2

Explanation:

Given data

total expenses= $24

let the number of tickets be x

and the number of rides be y

Tickets cost $2 each, and ride tickets cost $4

Hence the expression for the situation is given as

2x+4y= 24

x≥3

y≤2
