Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation:
I took a test and this answer was correct.
Answer:
x ≥ 5
y ≥ 10
3x + 2.3y ≥ 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets the number of men's shoes he sells be x and women's shoes be y.
For each men's shoes , he gets a commission of $3 and for each women's shoe, he gets a commission of $2.30 .
He needs to sell atleast 10 women's shoes and 5 men's shoes.
Also he needs to make atleast $60 per week.
x ≥ 5
y ≥ 10
3x + 2.3y ≥ 60
These are are the 3 required inequalities.
Now we will see an example.
If he sells 20 womens shoes and 10 mens shoes , he will meet the requirements.
He will make a total profit =
=$76
To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.
The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:
x - 6 x + 7
--------- ≥ --------
x + 5 x + 3
=>
x - 6 x + 7
--------- - -------- ≥ 0
x + 5 x + 3
=>
(x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
=>
x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
15x + 53
- ------------------- ≥ 0
(x + 5) (x + 3)
That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.
