Jamie and Stella are saving money to sign up for a school trip to Washington, D.C. In order to sign up for the trip, they must p

ay $600 upfront. Jamie earns his money by washing cars for $25 each. Stella earns her money by making pecan pies for $15 each. Jamie earns more money than Stella does because Stella only has enough supplies to make 40 pies. Let x represent the number of cars Jamie washes. Let y represent the number of pies Stella makes.
Part 1: Write a constraint (an inequality) to represent how much money Jamie needs for his trip.

Part 2: Write a constraint (an inequality) to represent how much money Stella needs for her trip.

Part 3: Write a constraint (an inequality) to represent the relationship between Jamie's earnings and Stella's earnings.

Answer:

1. Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

2. Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

3. If Jamie washes x no. of cars and Stella makes y no. of pies, then,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

4. Yes, Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

if Jamie washes x no. of cars for $25 each and Stella makes y no. of pies

for $ 15 each, then, according to the question,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

Yes,  Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns. Because, she can make at most 40 pies for $15 each and

$ 40 \times 15 = $ 600 = The amount of money Stella needs for the trip.

bazaltina [42]
X + 4y = 4
-x + 2y = 8


x + 4y - x + 2y = 4 + 8

6y = 12

y = 2


x + 4(2) = 4
x + 8 = 4
x = -4
