Answer:

[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y\ge 20\\ \\10x+20y\le 280\end{array} \right.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of $10 tickets the radio station gives away and y is the number of $20 tickets which the radio station gives away.

Number of tickets:

At least 20, so

[tex]x+y\ge 20[/tex]

Cost:

x tickets for $10 each cost $10x

y tickets for $20 each cost $20y

Total cost:

$(10x+20y)

The total cost of all the tickets they give away can be no more than $280, so

[tex]10x+20y\le 280[/tex]

We get the system of two inequalities:

[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y\ge 20\\ \\10x+20y\le 280\end{array} \right.[/tex]
