Question

I NEED TO HAND IN NOW!!!

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

total no. of pupils is not more than 24

therefore first equation is

(x+y) ≤ 24. ....(1)

No. of girls exceeding the no. of boys by atleast 4

(y-x) ≥ 4. .....(2)

b) Now Liza chooses 8 boys

Maximum no. of girls = ?

Using first inequality

y+8= 24 ( maximum value of less than or equal to function is equal to itself)

Therefore,

y= 24-8

=16

Minimum no. of girls = ?

Using second inequality

y-8 =4 (minimum value of greater than or equal to function is equal to itself)

Therefore,

y= 4+8

y=12

Answer:

a) 2linear inequalities

(x+y) ≤ 24

(y-x) ≥ 4

b) Max no. of girls = 16

Min no. of girls = 12

Hope it helps...
