True or false? Write below.

15) Explain how you know.

16) Is (4, 1) a solution to the inequality ﻿$2y - 3x < 5$﻿?

True or false? Write below.

17) Explain how you know.

18) Explain how to use the answers to the previous questions to graph the solution set to the inequality ﻿$2y - 3x < 5$﻿.

##### Problem 4

19) The boundary line on the graph represents the equation ﻿$5x + 2y = 6$﻿. Write an inequality that is represented by the graph.

##### Problem 5

a) $x - 3y < 5$b) $x - 3y \leq 5$c) $x - 3y > 5$d) $x - 3y \geq 5$
##### Problem 6

Solve each system of equations without graphing.

21) ﻿$\begin{cases} 4d + 7e = 68 \\ -4d - 6e = -72 \end{cases}$﻿

##### Problem 7

23) Mai and Tyler are selling items to earn money for their elementary school. The school earns ﻿$w$﻿ dollars for every wreath sold and ﻿$p$﻿ dollars for every potted plant sold. Mai sells 14 wreaths and 3 potted plants and the school earns $70.50. Tyler sells 10 wreaths and 7 potted plants and the school earns$62.50.

This situation is represented by this system of equations: ﻿$\begin{cases} 14w + 3p = 70.50 \\ 10w + 7p = 62.50 \end{cases}$﻿

Explain why it makes sense in this situation that the solution of this system is also a solution to ﻿$4w + (-4p) = 8.00$﻿.
