To make that graph you follow these steps.
1) Set the cartesian coordinate system:
- vertical axis: y
- horizontal axis: x
- positive x-semi axis: to the right
- negative x-semi axis: to the left
- positive y-semi axis: upward
- negative y semi axis: dwonward
2) solve the inequality for y:
given: -2x + 5y > 15
transpose-2x: 5y > 15 + 2x
divide by 5: y > 3 + (2/5)x
3) Graph-
draw the line y = 3 + (2/5)x, using a dotted line (i.e. - - - - - -)
- remember that 3 is the y intercept, and 2/5 is the slope
- the line is dotted because
the solution does not include the points in the line.
- the solution is the
region above and to the left of the dotted line.
4) See the
figure attached for better visualization: the pink region is the solution of the inequality.
Answer:
x= 48.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Add like terms
2x+2x and
2-17
4x-15=180
Now subtract -15 to both sides get x by itself
4x-15+15=180+15
4x=195
Now divide by four to each side to get x by itself again
4x/4 = 195/4
x=48.75
The key word here is *square* in "square flower garden".
So we need to find the area of the flower garden, and subtract it from the overall area of the yard. The remainder will be how much grass covers the yard.
Area of the Square flower garden:
7.5 * 7.5 = 56.25
Area of the Entire yard:
25 * 18 = 450
450 - 56.25 = 393.75 square feet of grass
