Answer:
2x -y ≥ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The intercepts of the boundary line are given, so it is convenient to start with the equation of that line in intercept form:
... x/(x-intercept) + y/(y-intercept) = 1
... x/2 + y/(-4) = 1
Multiplying by 4 gives the equation of the line.
... 2x -y = 4
This line divides the plane into two half-planes. The half-plane that is shaded is the one for larger values of x and/or smaller values of y than the ones on the line. So, for some given y, if we increase x we will get a number from our equation above that is greater than 4. Hence, the inequality we want is ...
... 2x -y ≥ 4
We use the ≥ symbol because the line is solid, so part of the solution space.
Answer:
9 cans of white paint
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you can set up a ratio.
The ratio right now is 3 : 2, you have 3 cans of white paint for every 2 cans of blue paint. This question is asking how many white paint cans would be needed for 6 cans of blue paint. You can see the relationship between the number of blue paint cans and the new number of blue paint cans, maybe it's multiplying by 4 or 2 for example, and once we find that out we can do the same exact thing to the white cans.
We can see that to get from 2 to 6 you multiply by 3, so now we do that to the other side of the fraction as well, we multiply by 3. 3 multiplied by 3 is 9, so if we were to have 6 cans of blue paint we would need 9 cans of white paint to get that perfect shade of light blue. Anne would need 9 cans of white paint if she had 6 cans of blue paint to make her shade of blue.
