We are asked to create an inequality that can be used to find the combinations of DVDs and CDs that can be bought with a $50 worth of gift card. We are also given with the conditions that a DVD has a selling price of $8 and the CD has a selling price of $6 per item. Hence, we have the inequality below:

Let x be the number of DVDs being purchased

Let y be the number of CDs being purchased.

$50 = $8x + $6y

50 = 8x + 6y
