x+y \leq 130 \
x>0.20 y \
x \geq 0 \
y \geq 0
\end{array}$

B) 
$\begin{array}{l}
x+y \leq 130 \
x>20 y \
x \geq 0 \
y \geq 0
\end{array}$

C) 
$\begin{array}{l}
x+y \leq 130 \
x<0.20 y \
x \geq 0 \
y \geq 0
\end{array}$

D) 
$\begin{array}{l}
x+y=130 \
x \geq 0.20 y \
x \geq 0 \
y \geq 0
\end{array}$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct inequalities are $x+y \leq 130$ to ensure the total area does not exceed 130 square feet, $x>0.20y$ to ensure the area for tomatoes is more than 20% of the area for cucumbers, and $x \geq 0$, $y \geq 0$ to ensure that the areas for both tomatoes and cucumbers are non-negative.
