Medal for best answer!!! A company dyes two sizes of rugs. A small rug requires 2 hours for dyeing and a medium-size rug requires 3 hours for dyeing. The dyers need to make at least 15 rugs, and they must do it in less than 60 hours. Let x equal small rugs and y equal medium rugs. Which of the following inequalities can be paired with x + y ≥ 15 to create a system that represents this situation? 2x + 3y < 60 3x + 2y < 60 2x + 3y > 60 3x + 2y > 60

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

start with one small and one medium, then keep adding one to each side. is that confusing?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I dont' get how to do it If you can show me how

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

so small-2hr med-3hr

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

how many smalls can u do in one hour?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

It takes 2 hours for small rug for dyeing.

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

o.... :/

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

well, how many in 60 hours

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

what im trying to do is get ur brain working with these equations think of the question like this s*x+m*x+=less than or equal to 60

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

It will be like 50

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

well, less than that

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

but look at this, smalls and mediums can be s and m and we need to find numbers to substitute so that when we add them, you have somthing less than or equal to 60

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Can you show me how I wont be able to do it

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

start with a:: 2x + 3y < 60. substitute x with 2 and y with three

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I ended up with 13<60

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

thats true. so it could be a. but lets work b 3x + 2y < 60. make it look like 3*2+2*3<60 then work

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

12<60

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

2x + 3y > 60 2*2+3*3>60?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

So the right choice is the 1st one?

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

you tell me. d might could be the right answer.

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

3x + 2y > 60 3*2+2*3>60

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

it could be a or b

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

They both end up to be true idk

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

are you looking at the second part of the question? Which of the following inequalities can be paired with x + y ≥ 15 to create a system that represents this situation?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

How can I pair them up?

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

wich is closer to 15?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

The first one it was 13<60 and the other one was 12<60

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

So its A?

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

that would be my answer.

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Okay thanks

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

no problem

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

anything else?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Determine whether the origin is included in the shaded region and whether the shaded region is above or below the line for the graph of the following inequality: y > one half x + 2 The origin is not included in the shaded region and the shaded area is above the line. The origin is not included in the shaded region and the shaded area is below the line. The origin is included in the shaded region and the shaded area is above the line. The origin is included in the shaded region and the shaded area is below the line.

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I know it either A or C but now sure which one

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

i need the graph pic if there is one

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

There isnt just the equation

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

weird

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

but it says shaded area

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

http://www.mathpapa.com/algebra-calculator.html

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I used this site to help me graph the equation

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Just graph it there and change the one/half to 1/2

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

o ok

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

its a

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Okay can u help me with last one I have like 10 mins left until I have to go

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

The graph below shows the solution to a system of inequalities:

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Which of the following inequalities is modeled by the graph? 2x + 5y ≥ 14; x ≥ 0 2x + 5y ≤ 14; x ≥ 0 2x − 5y ≤ 14; x ≥ 0 −2x − 5y ≤ 14; x ≥ 0

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

It is either A or B

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

i dont know. it a confusing question

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I used the graph site I showed you and it is the same exact thing with the A and B if you dont know it its okay

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

@whpalmer4 can u help me?

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

its b

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

is that a guess or your sure?

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

im sure. checked it three times

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Okay thanks alot

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

can i get medal for that one?

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

How can I give another medal I dont know how to do that

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

click the medal to the right of my reply

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

I can't press anything there because i already gave one

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

its ok. i dont really need it

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

If you want it tell me how to

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

its fine

OpenStudy (kitkat1):

Okay thanks again

OpenStudy (foolofatook):

no problem is u need anythin pm me

OpenStudy (foolofatook):
