Suppose you buy flour and cornmeal in bulk to make flour tortillas and corn tortillas. Flour costs
$1.50 per pound and cornmeal costs $2.50 per pound. You want to spend less than $25 on flour
and cornmeal, but you need at least 6 pounds altogether.
A. Write then graph a system of linear inequalities.
[When typing your inequalities, separate using a semi-colon. THEN graph on the show your work part]

Critique the reasoning of others. A student was asked to solve the system y ≥ 12x + 4 and x + 4y ≤ −20. She made the graph shown below. She noticed that the two shaded regions do not overlap, so she concluded that the system of inequalities has no solution. Do you agree or disagree? Justify your reasoning.
