Please help me!!! I need it!
Sally has only nickels and dimes in her money box. She knows that she has less than $20 in the box. Let x represent the number of nickels in the box and y represent the number of dimes in the box. Which of the following statements best describes the steps to graph the solution to the inequality in x and y?

Answer 1

Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 5x + 10y = 2000 and shade the portion above the line for positive values of x and y.

Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 10x + 5y = 2000 and shade the portion above the line for positive values of x and y.

Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 5x + 10y = 2000 and shade the portion below the line for positive values of x and y.

Draw a dashed line to represent the graph of 10x – 5y = 2000 and shade the portion below the line for positive values of x and y.

@Whitemonsterbunny17 This is way to confusing! Can you help? :)

Answer 3

Which part is confusing? the number part or where the shading goes?

Answer 4

or both? lol

Answer 5

The shading part sorry. :)

Answer 6

ohhh okay.. we'll narrow it down by deciding which one you think it is with the number part?

Answer 7

I think it would be 5x+10y=2000

Answer 8

Would it'd be C?

Answer 9

Yeah, because you want it to be less than $20.. so for less than you would shade below the line. If it was greater than, you would shade above the line. (:
