Algebra Regents Systems of Inequalities

Match the system to the graph (solution set is on the left)

• y ≤ 3x   and  y ≤ -2x + 4

• y > 3x   and  y > -2x + 4

• y < 3x   and  y > -2x + 3

• y > 3x   and  y < -2x + 4

Which system of inequalities matches the graph?

• y > 2x - 4
  y < 2

• y < 2x - 4
  y < 2

• y > 2x - 4
  y <  2 

• y < 2x - 4
  y <   -2

Is (0,0) a solution to the system?

• Solution

• Not a solution

Write the system of inequalities
Carlos works at a movie theater selling tickets. The theater has 300 seats and charges $7.50 for adults and $5.50 for children. The theater expects to make at least $2000 for each showing

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000

• x+y<300
  7.5x+5.5y≥2000

• x+y≤300
  7.5x+5.5y≤2000

• x+y>2000
  7.5x+5.5y≤300

Kate is selling bracelets and earrings on Etsy to make money for summer vacation. The bracelets (x) cost $2 and earrings (y) cost $3. She needs to make at least $100, but can only make up to 40 pieces of jewelry. Which inequalities represent this situation?

• 2x + 3y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 2y > 3

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 40y > 100

  3x + 2y ≤ 40

• 3x + 2y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40

JoAnn likes her job as a baby-sitter, but it pays only $3 per hour. She has been offered a job as a tutor that pays $6 per hour. Because of school, her parents only allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week. How many hours can JoAnn tutor and baby-sit and still make at least $66 per week? How much does she make?

• b + t < 15
  3b + 6t > 66

• b + t > 15
  3b + 6t < 66

• 3b + 6t > 15
  b + t < 66

• 3b + 6t < 15
  b + t < 66

What's the difference between systems of equations and systems of inequalities?

• Systems of equations have 1 solution, no solution, or infinite solutions while systems of inequalities can have a range of solutions.

• Systems of equations use slope-intercept form only while systems of inequalities use standard form only.

• Systems of equations have a shaded region while systems of inequalities do not.

• There is no difference.

Which point is a solution?

• (0, 6)

• (-3, 4)

• (1, 0)

• (-4, 3)
