Which system of inequalities can Sam use to determine the number of large frames, x, and medium frames, y, that he can purchase to meet his needs?


A.

18x + 24y ≤ 225

x + y ≥ 10

B.

24x + 18y ≥ 225

x + y ≤ 10

C.

18x + 24y ≥ 225

x + y ≤ 10

D.

24x + 18y ≤ 225

x + y ≥ 10

Answer 1

Answer: D.

24x + 18y ≤ 225

x + y ≥ 10

Step-by-step explanation: "He wants to frame no fewer than 10"

x + y ≥ 10

"and he can spend a maximum of $225. Large frames cost $24, and medium frames cost $18."

24x + 18y ≤ 225

Answer: D.

24x + 18y ≤ 225

x + y ≥ 10

Answer 2

D.

24x + 18y ≤ 225
