There would be 30 people pulling it. To work it out you do 16 divided by 8=2. Then you do 60 divided by 2= 30.<u />

Which system of inequalities is shown? A. Y>x y<2 b. Y 2 D. Y>x y>2

AURORKA [14]

Answer: y > x, y > 2

The horizontal line goes through 2 on the y axis. This boundary line is represented by the equation y = 2, since every point on this line has a y coord of 2. The shading above it means that the inequality is y > 2. Every point in the shaded region of y > 2 has a y coord that is larger than 2.

The other inequality is y > x because we shade above the dashed boundary line y = x, which is that slanted dashed line.

Combining the two regions of y > 2 and y > x leads to what is shown.
