275x+168y≤1250

x>0

    Number of swings = x

    Number of slides = y

    First condition:

    number of slides must be more than 3 times number of swings

    This means that: y > 3x

    Second condition:

    each swing cost 275$ and each slide costs 168$. They cannot spend more than 1250$. This means that the sum of costs of swings and slides should not exceed 1250$ (should be less than or equal to 1250$)

    This means that: 275x+168y ≤ 1250

    Based on this:

    The correct choices are: b and d
