Sasha reads at a rate of 0.8 pages per minute in her favorite novel, but only 0.5 pages per minute in the autobiography she is currently reading. Her English class has a minimum reading requirement of at least 75 pages per week. This situation is represented by the inequality 0.8n+0.5a≥75, where n is the number of minutes she reads her novel and a is the number of minutes she reads the autobiography.
