Answer:
1st picture: (0,4)
The lines intersect at point (0,4).
2nd picture: Graph D
2x ≥ y - 1
2x - 5y ≤ 10
Set these inequalities up in standard form.
y ≤ 2x + 1
-5y ≤ 10 - 2x → y ≥ -2 + 2/5x → y ≥ 2/5x - 2
When you divide by a negative number, you switch the inequality sign.
Now you have:
y ≤ 2x + 1
y ≥ 2/5x - 2
Looking at the graphs, you first want to find the lines that intersect the y-axis at (0, 1) and (0, -2).
In this case, it is all of them.
Next, you would look at the shaded regions.
The first inequality says the values are less than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region below a line. The second inequality says the values are greater than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region above a line.
That would mean Graph B or D.
Then you look at the specific lines. You can see that the lower line is y ≥ 2/5x - 2. You need a shaded region above this line. You can see the above line is y ≤ 2x + 1. You need a shaded region below this line. That is Graph D.
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, notice that we can cancel out an x in the second term. Thus:
As with the last question, change the sign to multiplication and "flip" the second term:
Multiply straight across:
Cancel the (x+1) term:
Cannot be simplified further.
B.
D is the answer just took test
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
