employee wants to make less than 6 pounds of the mixture and wants the total cost of the nuts used in the mixture to be no more than $30. Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews. Let y represent the number of pounds of almonds. Which inequalities are among the constraints for this situation? Select each correct answer. Question 1 options: x+y<6 x+y≤30 x+y≤6 7x+5y≤30 7x+5y>30 7x+5y<6 x<0 x≥0 y≥0 y≤0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It has to be less than 6 , x+y<6

Now in inequalities that have 7 and 5 in them, 7 represents the cost of first ingredient and 5 the cost of second ingredient.multiply each of that number with quantity of that ingredient and sum both up we get the price of the mixture.

the mixture has to be less than 30 that means that it costs less than 30 but 30 can be the answer as well.

The last answer is 7x + 5y
