Find the ordered pair (x,y)(x,y) that satisfies the constraints: x+y4x + y \geq 4 and 2x+y72x + y \leq 7, where xx represents hot dogs at $2\$2 each and yy represents peanuts at $1\$1 each, given Cody has $7\$7.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. Cody has 7.<br/>2.Hewantstobuyatleast4snacks.<br/>3.Hotdogs(x)cost7.<br />2. He wants to buy at least 4 snacks.<br />3. Hot dogs (x) cost 2 each.
4. Peanuts (y) cost 1each.<br/>5.Theinequalities1 each.<br />5. The inequalities x + y \geq 4and and 2x + y \leq 7$ must be satisfied by the ordered pair.

STEP 2

We need to check if each ordered pair satisfies both inequalities. Let's start with the ordered pair (3,1)(3,1).

STEP 3

Substitute x=3x=3 and y=1y=1 into the first inequality x+y4x + y \geq 4.
3+143 + 1 \geq 4

STEP 4

Check if the inequality holds true.
444 \geq 4

STEP 5

Since 44 is equal to 44, the first inequality is satisfied by the ordered pair (3,1)(3,1).

STEP 6

Now, substitute x=3x=3 and y=1y=1 into the second inequality 2x+y72x + y \leq 7.
2(3)+172(3) + 1 \leq 7

STEP 7

Calculate the left side of the inequality.
6+176 + 1 \leq 7

STEP 8

Check if the inequality holds true.
777 \leq 7

STEP 9

Since 77 is equal to 77, the second inequality is also satisfied by the ordered pair (3,1)(3,1).

STEP 10

Now let's check the ordered pair (5,4)(5,4). Substitute x=5x=5 and y=4y=4 into the first inequality x+y4x + y \geq 4.
5+445 + 4 \geq 4

STEP 11

Check if the inequality holds true.
949 \geq 4

STEP 12

Since 99 is greater than 44, the first inequality is satisfied by the ordered pair (5,4)(5,4).

STEP 13

Now, substitute x=5x=5 and y=4y=4 into the second inequality 2x+y72x + y \leq 7.
2(5)+472(5) + 4 \leq 7

STEP 14

Calculate the left side of the inequality.
10+4710 + 4 \leq 7

STEP 15

Check if the inequality holds true.
14714 \leq 7

STEP 16

Since 1414 is not less than or equal to 77, the second inequality is not satisfied by the ordered pair (5,4)(5,4).

STEP 17

Based on the checks, the ordered pair (3,1)(3,1) satisfies both inequalities, while the ordered pair (5,4)(5,4) does not.
The solution is the ordered pair (3,1)(3,1).
