ok i would set it up as $$a \times 12\le103$$$$b \times12\le103$$

anonymous · Answer

but it gives me this options...a. 8a = 103 - 11b 

b. 8a = 103 + 11b 

c. a - b = 12 

d. a = 12 + b

anonymous · Answer

ok i would say that either d or a. but i am not sure. @Salmon which do you think it is

anonymous · Answer

8a+11b=< 103
a+b=<12

anonymous · Answer

so it's c?
a. 8a = 103 - 11b 

b. 8a = 103 + 11b 

c. a - b = 12 

d. a = 12 + b
