Lincoln MS has $200 to spend on notebooks and tables, on x and y "x" are $7 each "y" are $5 each so one can say that the amount they'll spend cannot surpass $200, is all they have for their budget so the amount of notebooks bought, " 7x ", PLUS the amount of tablets bought, " 5y" cannot be more than $200, it can be less, or $200 but not more than that \(\bf 7x+5y\le 200\) if you solve for "y", what do you get?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

anyhow, you'd just solve for "y" and graph the inequality -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unSBFwK881s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be top right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well.. what did you get for \(\bf 7x+5y\le 200\quad ?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y<=10.2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

10.2? whatever happened to "x"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you solve

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well.. how would you solve for "y" say \(\bf 7x+5y= 200\quad ?\)

OpenStudy (lena772):

I thought you would substitute 7 for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too @Lena772

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm you're supposed to solve for "y", then you'd end up with an equation on "x" terms on the right-hand side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5y=200-7x

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

.... so... dividing by "5". to isolate or thus "solving" for "y"... will give you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=40-1.4x

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf 7x+5y\le 200\implies 5y\le 200-7x\implies y\le 40-\cfrac{7x}{5}\) so... to graph that, we would firstly graph \(\bf y= 40-\cfrac{7x}{5}\) which is just a line so -> http://fooplot.com/#W3sidHlwZSI6MCwiZXEiOiI0MC0oN3gvNSkiLCJjb2xvciI6IiNFRDBFMEUifSx7InR5cGUiOjEwMDAsIndpbmRvdyI6WyItNDYuMDkzMTkxOTA5Nzg5OTkiLCI1MC43NjQzNTU4NTAyMTk2OTQiLCItMTAuMzQ0MDY2OTI1MDQ4ODEyIiwiNDkuMjYwNTc3ODUwMzQxNzc1Il19XQ--

OpenStudy (lena772):

Top left? because when it's less you shade under?

OpenStudy (lena772):

That's what I would say @cuzthisisafrica

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

when graphing inequalities, < or > means a DASHED LINE, \(\bf \le \ or \ \ge\) means a SOLID LINE, so in this case it'll be a solid line so, what part do we shade? well let's pick a point NOT IN THE LINE, say ... ( 0, 0), is NOT IN THE LINE, so, let us plug that in our equation, see what we get \(\bf y\le 40-\cfrac{7x}{5}\qquad (0,0)\implies x=0\quad y=0\\ \quad \\ 0\le 40-\cfrac{7(0)}{5}\implies 0\le 40\) so... is 0 really LESS THAN OR EQUALS TO 40? yes it's, is really LESS, thus that makes the inequality TRUE for the point (0,0) and thus that's the area we shade, the area below the solid line

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and now you can see which of the graphs matches that
