Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Let be the number of mittens and
be the number of scarves. Then we have the inequalities:
<em>This says Nivyana and Ana cannot make more than 30 scarves</em>
<em>This says that</em> <em>Nivyana and Ana have to earn at least $1000.</em>
Part B:
The graph is attached.
Notice that the graphs of the inequalities are solid lines, this just means that the points on these lines included to the solutions of each inequality.
The darker shaded region and the solid lines bounding it, are the solutions to the inequalities because that's where the values common to both inequalities are found.
Part C:
From the graph we get two possible solutions:
15 scarves & 10 mittens
25 scarves & 5 mittens.
These two points lie on the solid lines that bound the darker shaded region<em> (I picked those points to stress that the lines bounding the dark region are also solutions.)</em>
Answer: Draw a line through the two points (0,2) and (3,3). See the attached image below.
How did I get these two points? The first point comes from the fact that "at the start, the height is 2 inches" meaning that x = 0 hours and y = 2 inches pair up together. This is show as point A. This is the y intercept as this is the location where the blue graph crosses the vertical y axis.
Point B is found by moving 1 unit up from point A and 3 units to the right to land on (3,3). So we have x = 3 hours and y = 3 inches pair up together.
Note: the slope is rise/run = 1/3 helping us determine the unit rate or speed in which the water is rising (ie the water is rising one-third of an inch per hour)
