The seating capacity of a theater is 250. Tickets are $3 for children and $5 for adults. The theater must take in at least $1100 per performance. Express this information as a system of inequalities. (Let the x refer to the number of children's tickets and the y refer to the number of adult tickets.)

x + y ≤

3x + 5y ≥ 1100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Seating capacity of theater = 250

Cost of each child ticket = $3

Cost of each adult ticket = $5

Cost per performance = $1100 at least

Find:

System of inequalities

Computation:

Let;

x = Number of children's tickets

y = Number of adult tickets

So

x + y ≤

3x + 5y ≥ 1100

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
