I confirmed it in grandpoint

Answer 2

3x +10y is greater than or equal to 250.

Explanation:

The question asks us to write an inequality which shows that both nylon and canvas added should be greater than or equal to 250.

Since we don't know the number of nylon backpacks and canvas backpacks the company makes, we used the variables "x" and "y" to represent the number of backpacks they made from each style.
