pizzas (p) that are $9 each and drinks (d) that cost $1 each. Write and graph an inequality that shows how many pizzas
and drinks can you order.?

23.Ticketstoaplaycost$5atthedoorand$4inadvance.The
theatre club wants to raise at least $400 from the play. Write
and graph an inequality for the number of tickets the theatre
club needs to sell. If the club sells 40 tickets in advance, how
many do they need to sell at the door to reach their goal?

24.Reasoning Two students did a problem as above, but one
used x for the first variable and y for the second variable and the other student
used x for the second variable and y for the first variable. How did their
answers differ and which one, if either, was incorrect?
