Which situation can be modeled by the inequality 50 - 12x > 8?
1 answer:
Answer:
Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Borrowed $50 from your cousin. You pay him $8 and must pay him back within 12 weeks.
Let x be the amount paid on each week.
You can buy bags of pretzels in packages of 12. You $50 to spend, but want to have at least $8 left.
Let x be the amount of each package.
You owe your sister $50. You plan to pay her $12 a week till you owe her less than $8.
Let x be the amount paid on each week.
You have $50 to spend on clothes, but you need to save at least $8 for bus fare. You plan to spend the rest on shirts that cost $12 each (including tax).
Let x be the number of shirts
Therefore, the correct option is D.

Answer: Check out the diagram below for the filled out table
Equation is y = 1.5x
Box for row one = 330
Box for row two = 1000
Box for row three = 1.5
===========================================================
Explanation
- x = amount of fish in grams (horizontal axis)
- y = number of calories (vertical axis)
The point (x,y) = (200,300) is on the blue diagonal line. It indicates that x = 200 grams of fish have y = 300 calories. Divide the two values to get the slope
slope = y/x = 300/200 = 1.5
This trick only works because the line is going through the origin. Otherwise, we'd have to use the slope formula.
The slope of 1.5 is the constant of proportionality. It tells us the equation is y = 1.5x. Whatever x is, multiply by 1.5 to get y.
So if x = 220, then y = 1.5x = 1.5*220 = 330
220 grams of fish have 330 calories. We'll write 330 in the box of the first row of the table.
-----------------
We can use this idea in reverse. If we know the calorie count (y), then we can divide by 1.5 to get the number of grams (x).
y = 1.5x
1500 = 1.5x
1.5x = 1500
x = 1500/(1.5)
x = 1000
Therefore, 1000 grams of fish have 1500 calories. We'll write 1000 in the box of the second row.
------------------
The third row of the table is going to follow the same steps as the first row.
y = 1.5x
y = 1.5*1
y = 1.5
One gram of fish produces 1.5 calories
