2. Clay sells chips and sodas at the concession stand. He makes $.50 profit on every bag of chips he sells and $1 profit on every soda he sells. He wants to sell at least 35 items and earn at least $30 every time he opens the concession stand. Write and solve a system of linear inequalities that shows all possible combinations of the number of sodas and chips he could sell to reach his goal.
