Hello there, you can proceed with the multiplication of these factors using the FOIL method (which stands for first, outer, inner and last) multiply I assume that by descending order, you mean by decreasing power. If it were so, the answer is 6(x^3)12(x^2)-16(x^2)32x-27x+72.

Answer:

$x\geq3$

$12x+7y\leq63$

$y\geq0$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x be the amount of live bait and y be the amount of natural bait, Then we can come up with the following inequalities;

We are told that John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait. At least 3 means 3 or more. Since x represents the amount of live bait, we have;

$x\geq3$

Moreover,we are informed that;

The store sells live bait for $12 a pound and natural bait for $7 a pound. x pounds of live bait would cost 12x while y pounds of natural bait would cost 7y. The total cost would thus be;

12x + 7y

but John only has a budget of $63. This implies that he can spend $63 at most, thus;

$12x+7y\leq63$

Finally we can have our last inequality as;

$y\geq0$
