You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = # of tapes
\n" ); document.write( "y = # of CDs\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Buying x tapes at $10 a tape, costs 10x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Buying y CDs at $12 a CD, costs 10y dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Total cost: 10x+12y dollars\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have $44 to spend, so this is the most you can spend. This is the upper limit or ceiling. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That means \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Total_Cost+%3C=+44\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10x%2B12y+%3C=+44\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=======================================================\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the inequality is \"10x%2B12y+%3C=+44\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
