Answer:

Flip the inequality sign!

Answer:

y = -6x + 31

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for us to make this an equation of the form y = mx + b we have to find the slope.

The formula for slope is rise/ run. The rise is 6 and the run is -1.

So, the slope is 6/-1 or -6.

Our equation is now: y = -6x + b

Substituting 4,7 into the equation we get 7 = -24 + b

So, b = 31.

To check out answers we substitute 5,1 in and it works.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: the system of inequalities are

x + y ≤ 14

18x + 38y = 342

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of iPad chargers sold.

Let y represent the number of keyboards sold.

At the end of the day, he knows he sold a maximum of 14 items. This is expressed as

x + y ≤ 14

If he

charged $18 for each iPad charger (x) and $38 for each keyboard (y) and earned a total of $342, the expression would be

18x + 38y = 342
