You can put this solution on YOUR website!
hamBurger pounds, b.
hot Dog pounds, d.

Cost of the poundage of meats: b%28pounds%293%28dollars%2Fpound%29%2Bd%28pounds%292%28dollars%2Fpound%29=+dollars+of+meats.

She wants 3b%2B2d%3C=30.
Solve this for whichever variable you want as your vertical axis value; and your other variable will be for your horizontal axis coordinate. Do you want b to be the vertical axis, or do you want d to be the vertical axis? In other words, you can graph the inequality more easily if you put into slope-intercept form, if you prefer this form. As written, it is currently in standard form, and you can find intercepts... I myself would use slope-intercept form.
