Answer:

The x-intercept is 50 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY aluminum cans, you would have to collect 50 of them.

The y-intercept is 20 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY glass bottles, you would have to collect 20 of them.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find x intercept, we set y = 0.

To find y intercept, we set x = 0.


<u>x-intercept:</u>

2x+5y=100\\2x+5(0)=100\\2x=100\\x=50

The x-intercept is 50 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY aluminum cans, you would have to collect 50 of them.


<u>y-intercept:</u>

2x+5y=100\\2(0)+5y=100\\5y=100\\y=20

The y-intercept is 20 and it means to earn $1 using ONLY glass bottles, you would have to collect 20 of them.

What is the solution to the inequality? 4x−5&gt;19−8x
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

x>1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5 from each side to get 4x>14-8x

change the symbol from +8 to -8

4x> 14+ (-8x)

than add 8x to both sides

12x > 14

which would mean that x has to be greater than 1.16

x>1.16
