On a final exam, each multiple-choice question is worth 4 points and each word problem is worth 8 points. Lorenzo needs at least 50 points on the final to earn a "B" in the class. Which inequality represents x, the number of correct multiple-choice questions, and y, the number of correct word problems, he needs to earn a "B"?
