Jerome Rowe · Answer 1

Inequalities are easy because you can set up a limit without worrying about the variables or other factors. Because blue crepe paper costs $3 per roll, every time you use x it will br 3x. Because gold crepe paper costs $5 per roll, it will always be 5y. Add these together to get 3x + 5y < or equal to 48.
