a. Write a linear inequality that describes the situation.
 Let's name variables:
 x: basket of fruit
 y: box of cheese
 We can write the following inequality:
 5x + 3y> 150

 b. write two possible solutions to the problem 
 For this problem we can have many solutions:
 Two possible solutions are:
 Solution 1: 
 x = 20
 y = 20
 5 (20) +3 (20)> 150
 100 + 60> 150
 160> 150
 
 Solution 2:
 x = 15
 y = 30
 5 (15) +3 (30)> 150
 75 + 90> 150
 165> 150
