Hello!

We don't need to find the exact perimeter of the fencing, just an estimate.

We will round 12 ft 3 in to 12 ft, because it is closer to 12 ft than 13 ft.

We will also round 8 ft 11 in to 9 ft because there are 12 inches in a foot, which makes 9 ft closer.

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2l × 2w

The length is about 12 feet and the width is about 9 feet.

Substitute the length and width:

P = 2(12) + 2(9)

Solve:

P = 24 + 18

P = 42

Jose will need about 42 feet of fencing.

1. Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality –3x + y ≥ 7?
Murrr4er [49]
Q1. The answers are (–1, 8), (0, 7), (3, 18)

<span>–3x + y ≥ 7
</span>Let's go through all choices:

<span>(–2, –3) 
</span>(-3) * (-2) + (-3) ≥ 7
6 - 3 ≥ 7
3 ≥ 7       INCORRECT

(–1, 8) 
(-3) * (-1) + 8 ≥ 7
3 + 8 ≥ 7
11 ≥ 7       CORRECT

(0, 7) 
(-3) * 0 + 7 ≥ 7
0 + 7 ≥ 7
7 ≥ 7       CORRECT

(1, 9) 
(-3) * 1 + 9 ≥ 7
-3 + 9 ≥ 7
6 ≥ 7       INCORRECT

(3, 18) 
(-3) * 3 + 18 ≥ 7
-9 + 18 ≥ 7
9 ≥ 7       CORRECT



Q2. The answers are:
5x + 12y ≤ 80
x ≥ 4
<span>y ≥ 0
</span>
<span>x - small boxes
</span><span>y - large boxes

</span>He has x small boxes that weigh 5 lb each and y large boxes that weigh 12 lb each <span>on a shelf that holds up to 80 lb:
5x + 12y </span>≤ 80

Jude needs at least 4 small boxes on the shelf: x ≥ 4

Let's check if y can be 0:
5x + 12y ≤ 80
5x + 12 * 0 ≤ 80
5x + 0 ≤ 80
5x ≤ 80
x ≤ 80 / 5
x ≤ 16

x ≥ 4 can include x ≤ 16

So, y can be 0: y ≥ 0
