The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on DVD for $20 and classic movies on DVD for $8. Let x represent the number of new releases, and let y represent the number of classics. If the librarian had a budget of $500 and wanted to purchase as many DVDs as possible, which values of x and y could represent the number of new-release and classic movies bought? x = 8, y = 45 x = 10, y = 22 x = 16, y = 22 x = 18, y = 18

So we have

20x + 8y ≤ 500

And the values that "work" are (10, 22) and (16, 22)
