Answer:
The inequality representing the time taken by the entire cycle is:
Step-by-step explanation:
The time taken to complete one cycle of a manufacturing machine is no longer than 3 minutes.
It is provided that the manufacturing machine has two processes.
One of them is repeated 4 times and the second only once.
Assume that the variable <em>x</em> represents the time taken to complete the first process once.
Then the time taken to complete the first process 4 times would be, 4<em>x</em>.
Also assume that the variable <em>y</em> represents the time taken to complete the second process.
Then the inequality representing the time taken by the entire cycle is:
Consider the graph below representing the above equation.
