Answer:
Step 1;understand the problem
let the x be the costs of rice
let the y be the costs of fish
Step 2;write the inequalities
the number of kilos of rice. times the costs of rice plus the number of kilos of fish
2 •. x. +. 3
times. the costs of fish. less than. php.500
•. y. <. 500
so the linear inequality is 2•x+3•y<500
Step 3;solve the linear inequalities
2x+3y<500
2(50)+3y<500
100+3y<500
100-100+3y<500-100
3y<400
y<133.333 thus 133
Step 4; check your answer
if x=50,y=133
2(50)+3y<500
2(50)+3(133)<500
100+399<500
499<500 TRUE
