Answer:
8x + 12y < 240
Step-by-step explanation:
If x equals the number of small rugs and y equals the number of medium rugs dyed, we would need to multiply both variables by the number of hours taken to dye each sized rug. It takes 8 hours to dye a small rug (8x), and 12 hours to dye a medium rug (12y).
Then, to find the total number of hours they dye them in, add the terms together.
8x + 12y
The company must dye the rugs in less than 240 hours, so we will use a 'less than' (inequality) sign (it cannot be 240, or any more than 240).
8x + 12y < 240
X = y
y = 4
By the substitution property, we can replace y with 4 in that first equation.
x = 4
The correct answer is C. A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 5, 0, 3. Column 2 is labeled y with entries negative 18, negative 2, 10.
Explanation:
The purpose of an equation is to show the equivalence between two mathematical expressions. This implies in the equation "–2 + 4x = y" the value of y should always be the same that -2 + 4x. Additionally, if a table is created with different values of x and y the equivalence should always be true. This occurs only in the third option.
x y
5 -18
0 -2
3 10
First row:
-2 + 4 (5) = y (5 is the value of x which is first multyply by 4)
-2 + 20 = -18 (value of y in the table)
Second row:
-2 + 4 (0) y
-2 + 0 = -2
Third row:
-2 + 4 (3) = y
-2 + 12 = 10
