Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x in a verbal sentence please help

1 answer:

6 0

SOLUTION:

As an equation it is:

y - 3x = 5y + 2x

If you are asking for it as a sentence ( I will do it as a written sentence as I unfortunately can't show you the sentence verbally as you had asked ), then it is as you had written in your question so:

Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x

Or you could write is as:

y subtracted by three times x is equivalent to the sum of five times y and two times x.

Essentially, even with the small alterations that you can make to the phrasing and sentence structure, the concepts are the same so you can use one of the above answers or alter it as you please.

Hope this helps! :)

The region is in the first quadrant, and the axis are continuous lines, then x>=0 and y>=0
The region from x=0 to x=1 is below a dashed line that goes through the points:
P1=(0,2)=(x1,y1)→x1=0, y1=2
P2=(1,3)=(x2,y2)→x2=1, y2=3
We can find the equation of this line using the point-slope equation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(3-2)/(1-0)
m=1/1
m=1
y-2=1(x-0)
y-2=1(x)
y-2=x
y-2+2=x+2
y=x+2
The region is below this line, and the line is dashed, then the region from x=0 to x=1 is:
y<x+2 (Options A or B)

The region from x=2 to x=4 is below the line that goes through the points:
P2=(1,3)=(x2,y2)→x2=1, y2=3
P3=(4,0)=(x3,y3)→x3=4, y3=0
We can find the equation of this line using the point-slope equation:
y-y3=m(x-x3)
m=(y3-y2)/(x3-x2)
m=(0-3)/(4-1)
m=(-3)/3
m=-1
y-0=-1(x-4)
y=-x+4
The region is below this line, and the line is continuos, then the region from x=1 to x=4 is:
y<=-x+2 (Option B)

Answer: The system of inequalities would produce the region indicated on the graph is Option B
