Question

the local radio station is giving away some tickets to the circus.adult tickets cost the station $8 each while children's tickets cost $6.the station wants to spend no more than $172.let x equal the number of adults tickets and y equal the number of children's tickets.show all possible solution by graphing

Answer 1

8dollars each adult, implies 8x
6 dollars each kid, implies 6y
You want to spend no more than 172 dollars, that is 172 dollars or less.

8x+6y<=172, graph it

Answer 2

How do you graph it that's the part where I get confused.

Answer 3

Graph the linear equation then choose the interval
BUT! you have some restrictions, for example x+y>=0

Answer 4

Oh I get it now thank you so much
