n nmbm,

well 1st off you are looking at a 1st quadrant graph given the condition for x and y slope- intercept form is y = mx + b or for the inequalities 2x + y <= 14 subtract 2x from both sides y<= 14 - 2x similar process for 2x + 5y >= 35 with an extra step of dividing each term by 5 lastly P = 3x + 2y similar again 2nd step is divide by 2

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats correct... a similar process for the P equation.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so you are looking to solve simultaneously to get the point of intersection 3x + 5y = 35 2x + y = 14 or since you have both in slope intercept form you can say -2x + 14 = -3/5x + 5 and solve for x... the find the y value by substituting into either equation.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I just used a graphing package you don't need to point of intersection you just need to find the x and y intercepts for each line.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

oops my mistake... had the equation the wrong way around. and your correct.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

can you find the x and y intercepts for both lines...?

OpenStudy (raden):

for 3x+ 5y = 35, to find x-intercept take y=0 3x+ 5(0) = 35 3x = 35 x= 35/3, so coordinat point at (35/3, 0) to find y-intercept take x=0 3(0)+ 5y = 35 5y = 35 y= 7, so coordinat point at (0,7) do same for the line of 2x + y = 14

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well isn't your solution graphically |dw:1350887413518:dw|
