then;

total number of Pants cost is, $8.99x and total number of Shirt cost is, $3.99

Also, it is given that: You can spend as much as $60 and want to buy at least two pairs of pants.

then, we have the equation of inequality;

;......[1]         where x, y are natural number.

x-intercept:

Substitute the value y= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

Simplify:

Since, x is in natural number;

Similarly.

For y-intercept:

Substitute the value x= 0  in [1] and solve for x;

Simplify:

Therefore, we have
