Luis can spend up to $240 buying men’s and women’s shirts for his club. Men’s shirts cost $8 each and women’s shirts cost $12 ea

ch. He needs to buy at least 3 men’s shirts and at least 8 women’s shirts. Also, the women’s shirts must be at least twice the number of men’s shirts.
The graph shows the feasible region, where x represents the number of men’s shirts and y represents the number of women’s shirts.

Which ordered pairs meet all the constraints and make sense in context of the situation?

Let

x------> the number of men’s shirts

y----->  the number of women’s shirts

we know that

8x+12y \leq 240 ----> constraint A    

x\geq 3 ----> constraint B

y\geq 8 ----> constraint C  

y\geq 2x ----> constraint D  

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure N1

The solution is the shaded area

Remember that

if an ordered pair meets all restrictions and makes sense in the context of the situation, then the ordered pair is a system solution

we're going to proceed to verify each pair ordered

<u>case A)</u> (4,9)

Substitute the value of x and y in each  constraint

x=4\\y=9

Verify constraint A

8*4+12*9 \leq 240

140 \leq 240 -------> is true

Verify constraint B

4\geq 3 -------> is true

Verify constraint C

9\geq 8 ------> is true

Verify constraint D

9\geq 2*4

9\geq 8 -----> is true

therefore

the ordered pair (4,9)  is a system solution

<u>case B)</u> (7,13)

Substitute the value of x and y in each  constraint

x=7\\y=13

Verify constraint A      

8*7+12*13 \leq 240

212 \leq 240 -------> is true

Verify constraint B

7\geq 3 -------> is true

Verify constraint C

13\geq 8 ------> is true

Verify constraint D

13\geq 2*7

13\geq 14 -----> is not true

therefore

the ordered pair (7,13) is not a system solution

<u>case C)</u> (2,15)

Substitute the value of x and y in each  constraint

x=2\\y=15

Verify constraint A

8*2+12*15 \leq 240

196 \leq 240 -------> is true

Verify constraint B

2\geq 3 -------> is not true

Verify constraint C

15\geq 8 ------> is true

Verify constraint D

15\geq 2*2

15\geq 4 -----> is true

therefore

the ordered pair (2,15) is not a system solution  

<u>case D)</u> (5,12)

Substitute the value of x and y in each  constraint

x=5\\y=12

Verify constraint A

8*5+12*12 \leq 240

184 \leq 240 -------> is true

Verify constraint B

5\geq 3 -------> is true

Verify constraint C

12\geq 8 ------> is true

Verify constraint D

12\geq 2*5

12\geq 10 -----> is true

therefore

the ordered pair (5,12) is  a system solution  

<u>case E)</u> (6,15)

Substitute the value of x and y in each  constraint

x=6\\y=15

Verify constraint A

8*6+12*15 \leq 240

228 \leq 240 -------> is true

Verify constraint B

6\geq 3 -------> is true

Verify constraint C

15\geq 8 ------> is true

Verify constraint D

15\geq 2*6

15\geq 12 -----> is true

therefore

the ordered pair (6,15) is  a system solution  

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

(4,9)

(5,12)

(6,15)

see the attached figure N2 to better understand the solution

Alejandro has gone to school StartFraction 5 Over 7 EndFraction of the last 35 days. Which expression can be used to determine t
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Expression B

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let us find the information in the question</em>

  • Alejandro has gon to school \frac{5}{7} of the last 35 days
  • We need to find the expression that represents the number of days Alejandro has gone to school.

<em>We must write the given information in an expression then look for it in the choices.</em>

∵ He has gone \frac{5}{7} of 35 days

→ "of" means times (×)

∴ The days that he has gon = 35 × \frac{5}{7}

<em>The expression that can be used to determine the number of days he has gone to school is</em> 35 × \frac{5}{7}

The choices are:

A) \frac{35}{7}=\frac{5}{7}

B) 35 × \frac{5}{7}

C)  \frac{5}{7} ÷ 35

D) \frac{7}{5} ÷ 35

The answer is B
