Question

Most race cars are subject to various size and weight restrictions, depending on their classification. Champ cars must weigh a minimum of 1565 pounds without the driver. Formula One cars must weigh at least 1322.77 pounds with the driver. Select the two linear inequalities that can represent the possible weights of Champ cars and Formula One cars without drivers. Make sure you select two of the following.

a. y ≥ 1565 - x
b. y ≥ (1322.77)x
c. y ≥ (1322.77)x
d.y ≥ 1565

Answer 1

champ cars must weigh a minimum of 1565 pounds without the driver . let its weight be y so
y >=1565
let the driver weight be x
and car weight be y
so y+x>=1322.77
or
y>=1322.77-x
one is option D, i think there is a mistake in options

Answer 2

b.y ≥ (1322.77)x
c. y ≥ 1322.77 - x

i did make a mistake,

Answer 3

but thank you so much! (:
