Answer:
x<3 AND x>2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, 4x-4<8. Adding 4 to both sides, 4x<12, and dividing by 4, x<3.
Next, 9x+5>23. Subtracting 5 from both sides, 9x>18, and dividing by 9, x>2.
Therefore, x<3 AND x>2.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Given:
Cost to build a bookshelf = $20
Cost to build a table = $45
Amount available to spend = $600
Let x =  number of bookshelves built.
Let y =  number of tables built.
The total number of bookshelves and tables =  18. 
Therefore
x + y = 18.
 That is,
 y = 18 - x                    (1)
The total amount available to build x bookshelves and y tables = $600. Therefore
20x + 45y = 600
That is (dividing through by 5),
4x + 9y = 120            (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
4x + 9(18 - x) = 120
4x + 162 - 9x = 120
-5x = -42
  x = 8.4
From (1),obtain
 y = 18 - 8.4 = 9.6
Because we cannot have fractional bookshelves and tables, we shall test values of x=8, 9 and y=9,10 for profit
Note: The profit is $60 per bookshelf and $100 per table.
If x = 8, then y = 18-8 = 10.
The profit = 8*60 + 10*100 =  $1480
If x = 9, then y = 18-9 = 9.
The profit = 9*60 + 9*100 = $1440
The choice of 8 bookshelves and 10 tables is more profitable.
Answer: 8 bookshelves and 10 tables.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
y = - x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 0) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
 = 
 = - 1
the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 9 ) ⇒ c = 9
y = - x + 9 ← equation of line
