The answer is A.) 5x+8y≤120
To get this answer the first thing I did was notice what it says the x and y variables stand for. The "x variable represents the number of breadsticks purchased" and "the y variable represents the number of pizza pies purchased". It also says that each breadstick is $5 and each pizza pie is $8. Accordingly, we need to match our variables with what we're buying. So, the y be with 8 and the x be with 5.
So, our expression will have a 5x and an 8y in it.
Now if we notice, it says he can spend no more than $120, so that means he can spend $120 or less. The less than or equal to sign is ≤.
Now we can find our answer. The only answer with 5x and 8y with a ≤120 is answer choice A
Hope this helped!! :))
Looks fishy to me, the way this problem combines <, = and > symbols.
But anyway. Subtract 3x from both sides. You'll get
5 < x = 2 > 0 2 > 0 is true, but that's a different type of math problem (true or false). If you decide to substitute '1' for 2 > 0, then the "1" says "TRUE."
Then 5 < x = true, so you must find x values that are larger than 5.
That would be (5, infinity)
Please go back and ensure that you have copied down the original problem exactly as it appears.
Its independent because it does not depend on the answer before
-57 if you keep following the pattern
X + z = 15
w + y = 10
(3w + 3y(2x + 2z) = 3(w + y) * 2(x + z) = 3*10 + 2*15 = 60 Answer
