i need help with system of inequalities!! i have no idea how to do the work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me type the problem i am on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maple grove wants to include two types of maple trees, the namesake of the city, for their parks. Two varieties of maple trees have been selected. One variety costs $75 per tree; the other more colorful variety costs $95 per tree. The tree budget must not exceed $85,000. Citizens want more of the colorful $95 trees than the others if possible. Let X be the number of $75 trees and Y the number of $95 trees. Which system of inequalities represents this situation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1364995820167:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.75x+95y>=85,000 x>=y B.75x+95y<=85,000 x>=y C.75x+95y>=85,000 x<=y D.75x+95y<=85,000 x<=y these are my answers to choose from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i set up a equation to find the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would b D. you would set it up by the variable for the $75 trees as 75x and then the $95 trees as 95x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

75x + 95y < or equal to 56,000 x < or equal to y ITs D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you know you are going to add those together and your max total is the 85,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@arianadarsh they want to know the steps you took to get it, not just the answer. For future reference please try to just guide them not solve it for them,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did not know I am new to this site thanks for telling me though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thanks anyway i kind of figured out how to set it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you know you are going to add those together and your max total is the 85,000 which means you wold have 75x+95y<=85000 since they wanted more of Y you would have the next equation as y>=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i got it now thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is B
