Then maybe do 20 times 28

Gabriel Wilcox · Answer 2

Answer: The system of inequalities representing the situation are

x + y ≥ 20

10x + 20y ≤ 280

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of $10 tickets that the radio station is giving away.

Let y represent the number of $20 tickets that the radio station is giving away.

They want to give away at least 20 tickets. This means that

x + y ≥ 20

The total cost of all the tickets they give away can be no more then $280. This means that

10x + 20y ≤ 280
