System of Inequalities Word Problems: D. I. R. T

The document provides examples of word problems that can be modeled with systems of linear inequalities. It presents several problems involving constraints on variables such as hours worked, money earned or spent, and items purchased. For each problem it prompts the reader to write the system of inequalities, graph the system, and in some cases solve for the number of possible solutions.
