Leon has $10 to buy squash and carrots.
Squash cost $1.50 each and carrots cost $2.75
per bunch. The inequality 1.50x + 2.75y = 10
represents the possible ways Leon could spend
his $10. Is the ordered pair (-2,4) a solution for
the problem situation?

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem situation is one in which the quantities purchased must be non-negative integers.

The ordered pair (-2, 4) includes a negative integer. While it represents a solution to the inequality, it does not represent a solution for the problem situation.
