Question

---there were 3 times as many baby dinosaurs as adult dinosaurs----
How do you turn this phrase into an equation, when x=babies and y=Adults
Thank you!

Answer 1

hint:

`there were 3 times as many baby dinosaurs as adult dinosaurs`
means
(number of baby dinosaurs) = 3*(number of adult dinosaurs)

Answer 2

For example, we could have 12 baby dinosaurs and 4 adult dinosaurs. That's just one example of infinitely many.

Answer 3

when they say graphing inequalities in two variables, is it the same as graphing inequalities in two dimensions?

Thank you

Answer 4

Yes you'll be graphing on the xy plane (aka xy coordinate grid)

x being the horizontal dimension
y being the vertical dimension

Answer 5

one example: x+y > 5 which is the dashed boundary line going through (0,5) and (5,0) and the shading is above he boundary line

Answer 6

So they do mean the same thing.

Thank you for the help

Answer 7

yes
