Solve It! You want to spend no more than $40 for at most 15 tomato plants. You want to maximize the pounds of tomatoes you'll get.
Graph It! The variables are the number of Roma (x) and cherry tomato plants (y) you buy. Graph both of the inequalities on the same plane at desmos.com/calculator.
2x+3y\le40
x+y\le15
You will use your graph in the next item.
