Problem 2
Select all the pairs of \(x\) and \(y\) that are solutions to the system of inequalities: \( \begin{cases} y \leq \text-2x+6 \\ x-y < 6 \end{cases}\)
\(x = 0, y = 0\)
\(x = \text-5, y = \text-15\)
\(x= 4, y = \text-2\)
\(x = 3, y = 0\)
\(x = 10, y = 0\)

Problem 3
Jada has $200 to spend on flowers for a school celebration. She decides that the only flowers that she wants to buy are roses and carnations. Roses cost $1.45 each and carnations cost $0.65 each. Jada buys enough roses so that each of the 75 people attending the event can take home at least one rose.
- Write an inequality to represent the constraint that every person takes home at least one rose.
- Write an inequality to represent the cost constraint.

Problem 4
Here are the graphs of the equations \(3x+y=9\) and \(3x-y=9\) on the same coordinate plane.
- Label each graph with the equation it represents.
- Identify the region that represents the solution set to \(3x+y<9\). Is the boundary line a part of the solution? Use a colored pencil or cross-hatching to shade the region.
- Identify the region that represents the solution set to \(3x-y<9\). Is the boundary line a part of the solution? Use a different colored pencil or cross-hatching to shade the region.
- Identify a point that is a solution to both \(3x+y<9\) and \(3x-y<9\).

Elena is considering buying bracelets and necklaces as gifts for her friends. Bracelets cost $3, and necklaces cost $5. She can spend no more than $30 on the gifts.
- Write an inequality to represent the number of bracelets, \(b\), and the number of necklaces \(n\), she could buy while sticking to her budget.
- Graph the solutions to the inequality on the coordinate plane.
- Explain how we could check if the boundary is included or excluded from the solution set.
