Question

A wholesaler requires a minimum of 4 items in each order from its retail customers. The manager of one retail store is considering ordering a certain number of sofas, x, and a certain number of pillows that come in pairs, y. Which graph represents the possible combinations of sofa and pillow orders the manager can have?

Answer 1

Answer:

The 1st graph will be perfectly matching the conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A wholesaler requires a minimum of 4 items in each order from its retail customers.

The manager of one retail store is considering ordering a certain number of sofas, x and a certain number of pillows that come in pairs, y.

Therefore, for y = 0, x ≥ 4 and for x = 0, y ≥ 2 to make the order of 4 items or more.  

Therefore, the equation for the order to be of 4 items will be  

x + 2y = 4.

So, the 1st graph will be perfectly matching the conditions. (Answer)
