4 A radio station is giving away tickets to a play. They plan to give away tickets to seats that cost 10 or 20. They plan to give away at least 20 tickets, and the total cost of all the tickets can be no more than $300. Make a graph showing how many tickets of each kind can be given away. x + y ≥ 20 10x + 20y ≤ 300

Answer: The feasible region for the number of tickets that can be given away is defined by the inequalities \( x + y \geq 20 \) and \( 10x + 20y \leq 300 \).

Explanation: This problem involves linear inequalities and graphing a feasible region. The goal is to determine how many tickets of each kind (costing $10 and $20) can be given away while satisfying the conditions of giving away at least 20 tickets and not exceeding a total cost of $300.

Steps:

  1. Define Variables:
  • Let \( x \) be the number of $10 tickets.
  • Let \( y \) be the number of $20 tickets.
  1. Set Up Inequalities:
  • The total number of tickets must be at least 20:

\[ x + y \geq 20 \]

  • The total cost of the tickets must not exceed $300:

\[ 10x + 20y \leq 300 \]

  1. Simplify the Cost Inequality:
  • Divide the entire inequality by 10 to simplify:

\[ x + 2y \leq 30 \]

  1. Graph the Inequalities:
  • Plot the line \( x + y = 20 \). This line represents the boundary where exactly 20 tickets are given away.
  • Plot the line \( x + 2y = 30 \). This line represents the boundary where the total cost is exactly $300.
  1. Determine the Feasible Region:
  • The feasible region is the area on the graph where both conditions are satisfied. It is the intersection of the regions defined by the inequalities \( x + y \geq 20 \) and \( x + 2y \leq 30 \).
  1. Find Intersections:
  • Solve the system of equations to find intersection points:
  • \( x + y = 20 \)
  • \( x + 2y = 30 \)
  • Subtract the first equation from the second:

\[ (x + 2y) - (x + y) = 30 - 20 \]

\[ y = 10 \]

  • Substitute \( y = 10 \) into \( x + y = 20 \):

\[ x + 10 = 20 \Rightarrow x = 10 \]

  • Intersection point: \( (10, 10) \).
  1. Check Boundary Points:
  • \( x = 0 \): \( y = 20 \) (from \( x + y = 20 \))
  • \( y = 0 \): \( x = 30 \) (from \( x + 2y = 30 \))
  1. Conclusion:
  • The feasible region is bounded by the points \( (0, 20) \), \( (10, 10) \), and \( (30, 0) \).
  • The solution set includes all integer points within and on the boundary of this region, representing combinations of tickets that satisfy both constraints.
