We can graph these inequalities by solving for either p or b in both inequality.

Once the inequalities are graphed then any point that is shaded in their intersection will work.

Answer 2

Let me know if that helped you please (:

Answer 3

p+b less than or equal to 20 and 15*p+10*b is greater than or equal to 90
