Question

Select the correct answer.

Mariah is shopping for pencils and erasers to give to her piano students. She can purchase at most 50 total items. She wants the
number of pencils purchased to be greater than the square of the number of erasers.
Create a system of inequalities to model this situation, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable. Which statement
is true about the solution of this system?
No part of the solution region is viable because the number of pencils and erasers purchased cannot be negative.
Part of the solution region includes a negative number of pencils purchased; therefore, not all solutions are viable for the
given situation
The entire solution region is viable.
Part of the solution region includes a negative number of erasers purchased; therefore, not all solutions are viable for
the given situation.
