You can put this solution on YOUR website!
10x + 20y = 60
mix and match:
6x + 0y = 60
4x + y = 60
2x + 2y = 60
0x + 3y = 60
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now graph it and you're done
But what do you see in this exercise? Every time x goes up 2 y goes up 1.

A friend has $60 to buy some new shirts and pants. Each shirt (x) costs $10. Each pair of pants (y) costs $20. Write and graph an inequality that shows how many shirts and pants your friend can buy.
Correct INEQUALITY: highlight_green%2810x+%2B+20y+%3C=+60%29

Solve this for y and then graph the INEQUALITY.

Note that the INEQUALITY can be REDUCED!
