Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of males on the elevator

y ----> the number of females on the elevator

we know that

The inequality that represent this situation is

180x+150y\leq 2,700

The solution of the inequality is the shaded area below the solid line 180x+150y=2,700

The slope of the solid line is negative

The y-intercept of the solid line is (0,18)

The x-intercept of the solid line is (15,0)

see the attached figure

The solution is the triangular shaded area

The maximum number of females is 18 (when the number of males is zero)

The maximum number of males is 15 (when the number of females is zero)

If -6x + 12 = 0 and 4y + 5 =9 <br> what is the value of x + y
slega [8]

Answer:

x=2

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x+12=0

take 12 to the other side &it becomes negated then equate

-6x=-12

the negatives cancel out each other and therefore the answer is positive

x=2

4y+5=9

take 5 over to the other side &it becomes negated

4y=9-5

4y=4

y=1
