1. Leyla is selling hot dogs and spicy sausages at the fair
Leyla is selling hot dogs and spicy sausages at the fair. She has only 40 buns, so she can sell no more than a total of 40 hot dogs and spicy sausages. Each hot dog sells for $2, and each sausage sells for $2.50. Leyla needs at least $90 in sales to meet her goal. Write and graph a system of inequalities that models this situation.

2. Let d represent the number of hot dogs, and let s represent the number of sausages.
The total number of buns Leyla has can be modeled by the inequality d + s ≤ 40.
The amount of money that Leyla needs to meet her goal can be modeled by 2d + 2.5s ≥ 90.
d  0
s  0
The system of inequalities is
d + s ≤ 40
2d + 2.5s ≥ 90

3. Graph the solid boundary line d + s = 40, and shade below it.
Graph the solid boundary line 2d + 2.5s ≥ 90, and shade above it. The overlapping region is the solution region.

4. Check Test the point (5, 32) in both inequalities
Check Test the point (5, 32) in both inequalities. This point represents selling 5 hot dogs and 32 sausages.
2d + 2.5s ≥ 90
d + s ≤ 40
≤ 40
2(5) + 2.5(32) ≥ 90
37 ≤ 40 
90 ≥ 90 

5. Graphing Systems of Inequalities
Graph the system of inequalities.
y ≥ –x + 2
y < – 3
For y < – 3, graph the dashed boundary line y = – 3, and shade below it.
For y ≥ –x + 2, graph the solid boundary line y = –x + 2, and shade above it.
The overlapping region is the solution region.

6. If you are unsure which direction to shade, use the origin as a test point.
Helpful Hint

7. Systems of inequalities may contain more than two inequalities.

8. Graph the system of inequalities, and classify the figure created by the solution region.
x ≥ –2
x ≤ 3
y ≥ –x + 1
y ≤ 4

9. Graph the solid boundary line x = –2 and shade to the right of it
Graph the solid boundary line x = –2 and shade to the right of it. Graph the solid boundary line x = 3, and shade to the left of it.
Graph the solid boundary line y = –x + 1, and shade above it. Graph the solid boundary line y = 4, and shade below it. The overlapping region is the solution region.

10. Graph the system of inequalities, and classify the figure created by the solution region.
x ≤ 6
y ≤ x + 1
y ≥ –2x + 4

11. Graph the solid boundary line x = 6 and shade to the left of it.
Graph the solid boundary line, y ≤ x + 1 and shade below it.
Graph the solid boundary line y ≥ –2x + 4, and shade below it.
The overlapping region is the solution region. The solution is a triangle.
