Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with a graph with shaded region.

from the graph a line passes through point ( -2 , 0 ) and another line passes through point ( 0 , -2 ). using these point first we find equation of lines.

Also, from graph region shade by both lines is in opposite direction of point origin that is ( 0 , 0 ) which means for coordinates of origin does not satisfy the inequalities.

We need to find inequalities.

Option A).

y ≥ x - 2 .............(1)

y ≥ -2x - 6 ..............(2)

put x = -2 & y = 0 in any inequality.

in (1),

LHS = y = 0

RHS = x - 2 = -2 - 2 = -4

LHS ≠ RHS

now, in (2)

LHS = y = 0

RHS = -3x - 6 = -3(-2) - 6 = 6 - 6 = 0

LHS = RHS

put x = 0 & y = -2 in (1)

LHS = y = -2

RHS = x - 2 = 0 - 2 = -2

LHS = RHS

⇒ y = x - 2 &  y = -3x - 6 are our required equation of line.

Now we check are these our required inequalities.

By putting x = 0 and y = 0

in (1) we get,

0 ≥ 0 -2  ⇒ 0 ≥ -2

in (2) we get,

0 ≥ -3(0) - 6 ⇒ 0 ≥ -6

In both inequality origin satisfies them.

Thus this pair of inequality is not our answer.

Since Points from graph satisfy these y = x - 2 & y = -3x - 6

So, Option B and D is reject.

Now Option C).

y ≤ x - 2 .............(3)

y ≤ -2x - 6 ..............(4)

These set of equations of lines are our required ones.

So, We only check if origin satisfies these inequality or not.

By putting x = 0 and y = 0

in (3) we get,

0 ≥ 0 -2  ⇒ 0 ≤ -2

in (4) we get,

0 ≥ -3(0) - 6 ⇒ 0 ≤ -6

In both inequality origin does not satisfies them.

Thus this pair of inequality is our answer.

Therefore, Option C is correct.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

2 hours and 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 + 1/4 = 2/12 + 3/12 = 5/12

5/12 = 1/x

5/12x = 1

5x = 12

x = 2.4

A kid spent $100.00 to get 100 toy animals. The child bought at least one cat, one fish, and one bird, and did not buy any other
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

5 cats, 1 fish and 94 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

  • c be the number of cats;
  • b be the number of birds;
  • f be the number of fish.

A kid bought 100 toy animals, then

c+b+f=100

If a cat costs $10.00, then c cats cost $10c.

If a fish costs $3.00, then f fish cost $3f.

If a bird costs $0.50, then b birds cost $0.5b.

In total,

10c+3f+0.5b=100

We get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}c+b+f=100\\10c+3f+0.5b=100\end{array}\right.

From the first equation:

b=100-c-f

Substitute it into the second equation:

10c+3f+0.5(100-c-f)=100\\ \\10c+3f+50-0.5c-0.5f=100\\ \\9.5c+2.5f=50\\ \\95c+25f=500\\ \\19c+5f=100\\ \\f=20-\dfrac{19}{5}c

Number f must be a whole number greater than 0, so

20-\dfrac{19}{5}c>0\\ \\c

Number c must be a multiple of 5, thus the only possible value for c is 5.

When c = 5, then

f=20-5\cdot \dfrac{19}{5}=20-19=1\\ \\b=100-5-1=94
