Which shows the graph of the solution set of 2x+3y≤6?
2 answers:
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : equation 2x + 3y ≤ 6
We have to choose out of given option the graph that shows the graph of the solution set of 2x + 3y ≤ 6
Consider the given equation 2x + 3y ≤ 6
We first find the points where the equation cut x- axis and y-axis.
Thus,
For x - axis put y = 0 ,
We get 2x + 3(0) ≤ 6 ⇒ 2x ≤ 6 ⇒ x ≤ 3
Thus, point (3,0)
For y - axis put x = 0 ,
We get 2(0) + 3y ≤ 6 ⇒ 3y ≤ 6 ⇒ y ≤ 2
Thus, point (0,2)
For region we choose a test point and find the value of x and y on that test point and check whether it satisfy the inequality satisfies or not.
Consider the point (0, 0) , then inequality becomes,
2(0) + 3(0) ≤ 6 ⇒ 0 ≤ 6 (true)
Hence, region below the line will be considered.
Thus, Option (a) is correct.

Let's call the two numbers and
.
Given these variables, we can say: , based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:
To solve, we can simply substitute in for
in the second equation and solve.
- Set up
- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition
- Simplify
- Cross multiplication (
)
- Simplify
- Subtract
from both sides of the equation
- Factor left side of the equation
- Zero Product Property
Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus, is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
