byu eh......

anonymous · Answer

please help me..

amistre64 · Answer

i will if i can.... but i gotta warn ya, i am just an idiot in disguise ;)

amistre64 · Answer

it looks familiar, can you give me what you think we should do with this?

amistre64 · Answer

alg...sounds like algebra right?

amistre64 · Answer

we are looking for a maximum value for the coordinates given each constraint collectively or individually?

anonymous · Answer

thats all it says

amistre64 · Answer

these constraints give us areas of the graph, they are bounded I believe by the lines of the inequalities

anonymous · Answer

do you want me to send you alink with the answer choices?

amistre64 · Answer

that could help me understand where to go with this yeah :)

anonymous · Answer

(3, 3)
(1, 5)
(0, 4)
(2, 3)

amistre64 · Answer

ok, so it is looking for a single point.... that helps.  These 4 other inequalities are going to form boundaries that limit the domain and range of the original function....

anonymous · Answer

I Know this is weird but if you are good at maths I would pay you $$ to finish my course. I have no idea how to do geometry and my teachers wont help me and my mom doesnt know anything aboout it either

amistre64 · Answer

as much as id love to take you up on that offer, I would have to respectfully decline it.

anonymous · Answer

ok :(

anonymous · Answer

can i finish getting help with this though?

amistre64 · Answer

yep.... as long as I can figure it out... I am getting a picture drawn to determine the outcomes :)

anonymous · Answer

thank you, you are a very nice person

amistre64 · Answer

if I did it right, youre answer is (1,5)

amistre64 · Answer

(3,3) was out of bounds, and the highest value for the other that were in bounds was 27 as (1,5).  so that is my best guess ;)

anonymous · Answer

thank you so much

amistre64 · Answer

youre welcome, good luck with your stuff :)

amistre64 · Answer

hold up, let me redo some calculation there, I might be wrong....

amistre64 · Answer

the answer is (0,4)
