Question

Solve: $20x + $25y ≤ $650

Answer 1

This is a system of equations. There is one problem though. If we have 2 variables, we need two equations to solve it. You only have one equation.

We can however, get y in terms of x.

Is that what you want to do?

Answer 2

uhm, I have x ≥ 15 and y ≥ 10

Answer 3

@wio does that help?

Answer 4

Now you have more equations than you need. What exactly are you trying to do?

Sorry I'm confused now.

Answer 5

I'm trying to solve the first equation for my math class. I had to pretend I'm opening a clothing shop

Answer 6

x = jeans y = dresses
i need to make more than 15 jeans a day and 10 dresses a day.

Answer 7

I will sell the jeans for $20 and the dresses for $25 @wio

Answer 8

Sure, so what is the restriction?

Answer 9

$20x + $25y ≤ $650 I need to find out how many jeans and dresses I an make a week without going over $650 @wio

Answer 10

You may have multiple solutions.
You need to graph the following lines:
y ≤ -4x/5 + 26
y ≥ 10
x ≥ 15

Graph them like you would normal lines, but shade under ≤ and above ≥ for y, and shade right of ≥ and left of ≤ for x.
The area which overlaps all shading has ever solution point.

Answer 11

okay, thank you for your help!
