idk sry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its fine david :)

OpenStudy (davidusa):

i mean id be able to figure it out but right now i dont have time im busy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The weight must be less than or equal to the limit, 2200 lb. 40 pounds per box means 40b, where b is the number of boxes. Tack on Michelle's weight and the push cart's weight and set it less than or equal to the weight limit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the arrow points to the left?

OpenStudy (davidusa):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and there's a closed circle on 55?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there? 110 + 10 + 40b <= 2200 120 + 4b <= 2200 4b <= 2080

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so im not sure though im not good with inequalities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pretend the inequality sign is just an equals for now and use algebra. 4b <= 2080

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so ill divide 2080 by 4 and get 520

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, that should be 40b <= 2080. You did it right, but my error got the wrong answer. It would get you 52. So you were right. The sign is less than or equal to. What kind of circle does this make?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a closed one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i only chek two of the answers? the closed circle is 52 and the arrow points left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The arrow points left and there's a closed circle, which means it contains 52 and the numbers less than it. There's a third answer you need to check. It can't be a circle on 55, and it can't be the arrow points to the right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the solution set contains the number 51

OpenStudy (anonymous):

point not number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! Those are the three you check.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (davidusa):

nice response and explanation tomhue.
