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

Answer:

This is probably wrong. But i hope this helps anyways

Step-by-step explanation:

If the perimeter is twice its width, and the perimeter is 60. That means the whole length of the shape youre looking at is 120. (60•2) we can assume that this shape has 4 sides. 60/4.  Thats 15. So the sides are 4 ft. The length is at the top and bottom is 15. 15•4 = 60. There ya go
