Represent constraints by equations or inequalities and by systems of equations and/or inequalities (two and three variable systems); interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context (e.g., represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods)

Example Problems
Marina wants to spend at most $40 on school supplies.

Each binder costs
$4.50, and each pack of pencils costs $1.20.

Write an inequality that represents the number of binders (
) and packs of pencils () she can buy within her budget.
Jordan wants to spend at most at a bakery. Each loaf of bread costs , and each pastry costs .

Write an
inequality that represents the number of loaves of bread and pastries Jordan can buy on this budget.
Wang Hao wants to spend at most $15 on dairy products.

Each liter of goat milk costs
$2.40, and each liter of cow's milk costs $1.20.

Write an inequality that represents the number of liters of goat milk (
) and cow's milk () Wang Hao can buy on his budget.
