The inequality and the equation that could describe this situation are [tex]p + l \ge 40[/tex] and [tex]4p + 5l = 250[/tex]

Represent potato plants with p, and lemon plants with l.

To plant both types of plants such that the total plants is at least 40 means that:

[tex]p + l \ge 40[/tex]

In inequalities, at least is represented with less than or equal to (i.e. >=)

Also, the club can make use of exactly 250 square feet, such that each potato plant takes 4 square feet, and each lemon plant occupies 5 square feet.

So, the equation is:

[tex]4p + 5l = 250[/tex]

Write out the inequality and the equation as follows:

[tex]p + l \ge 40[/tex] and [tex]4p + 5l = 250[/tex]

Hence, the inequality and the equation are [tex]p + l \ge 40[/tex] and [tex]4p + 5l = 250[/tex]
