Question

Josh has 40 minutes to complete a government exam. There are 15 multiple-choice questions worth 3 points each. There are also 5 short-answer questions worth 11 points each. It takes about 2 minutes for Josh to answer the multiple-choice questions m and about 8 minutes to complete the short-answer questions s. The system of inequalities that represents this problem is graphed below. Which ordered pair is not a vertex of the feasible region?

Answer 1

Since there is no graph presented, I will give an example. For instance you are given, 2n is greater than 30 and 5n is less than 100 and you are asked to find the value of n. This is an example of an inequality problem. You are given 2n is greater than 30 and 5n is less than 100. You are asked to find for the value of n. You need to know that greater means this sign ‘>’ and lesser means ‘<’ sign. So if you have 2n is greater than 30, this is equal to 2n>30 and 5n is less than 100 is 5n<100. The ‘and’ means equal sign ‘=’. So,

2n>30+5n<100

2n-5n
