X + Y > 4
16x + 5y < 75

Each one of those inequality signs should be "or equal to," so be sure to write that in your final answer. X represents live bait, which is $16 per pound, and Y represents natural bait, which is $5 per pound. X + Y > 4lb, because John stated he wanted at least 4lb of bait. Therefore, the pounds of natural bait purchased plus the pounds of live purchased must be greater than or equal to 4lb. Since we are told John's budget is $75, the amount of money spent on both natural and live bait must be less or equal to $75. Therefore, we can write an inequality to express that as 16x + 5y < 75. Hope this helps!
