y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. An electrician earns 100 dollars for a project installing light fixtures

2. She must pay for the light fixtures herself and they cost 2 dollars

    and 50 cents each

3. x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her

   total profit

Her profit is the amount of money she has left over after paying for

the light fixtures

∵ The cost of each light fixtures is 2 dollars and 50 cents

- Let us change the cents to dollar

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ 50 cents = \frac{50}{100}=0.5 dollar

∴ 2 dollars and 50 cents = $2.5

∵ Her profit = The money she earns - The money she pays

∴ The cost of each light fixtures = $2.5

∵ She installs x light fixtures

∴ She pays 2.5 x dollar

∵ She earns $ 100 for installing x light fixtures

∵ Her profit is $y

∴ y = 100 - 2.5 x

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Which ordered pair makes both inequalities true?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

(3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality y > -2x + 3 and y ≤ x - 2

The graph of the inequalities are plotted using the geogebra graphing online calculator.

The portion of the graph that is shaded with dark blue, represents the portion that supports the equation.

All the ordered pair points given in the question are also labelled in the graph.

From the graph we can see that only point (3, 0) falls in the area that supports the equation. Hence (3, 0) makes both inequalities true.
