x for juice, y for pretzels (think praYtzels) along with the prices gives
, meaning you cannot spend more than 50 dollars. The left member is the cost for buying juice and pretzels.

Check for x values 0, 1, 2, 3, ... and see for which values you find whole numbers for y. No negative values allowed. If y becomes negative, then you went too far with the x.
