Answer:  3.50x + 4.00y ≤ 45

                0 < y < 11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3.50x + 4.00y \leq 45\\\\\\\text{Subtract 3.50x from both sides:}\\4.00y\leq -3.50x+45\\\\\\\text{Divide everything by 4.00 (to isolate y):}\\\dfrac{4.00y}{4.00}\leq \dfrac{-3.50x}{4.00}+\dfrac{45}{4.00}\\\\\\y\leq-0.875x+11.25\\\\\\\text{Both x and y must be greater than zero, so:}\\0<y<11.25[/tex]
