System of inequalities representing given scenario is as follows

x + y ≤40  

5x + 4y ≥ 120    

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Sara sells homemade blueberry jelly (b) and strawberry jam (s) at the farmer's market. She has enough berries for no more than 40 jars.

The blueberry jelly sells for $5 per jar,  

And the strawberry jam sells for $4 per jar.

Sara's goal is to make at least $120

Need to write system of inequalities for above scenario.

Let’s assume number of jars of blueberry jelly be represented by variable “x”

And assume number of jars of strawberry jam be represented by variable “y”

<em><u>Let’s create first inequality  </u></em>

As it is given that Sara has enough berries for no more than 40 jars, so total number of jars cannot be more than 40.  

=> Number jars of blueberry jelly + number of jars of strawberry jam ≤40

=>  x + y ≤ 40 ------(1)

<em><u>Now let’s create second inequality </u></em>

Selling Price of 1 blueberry jelly = $5  

So Selling Price of "x" blueberry jelly =x \times 5=5 x

Selling Price of 1 strawberry jam = $4

So Selling Price of "y" strawberry jam = \$ 4 \times \mathrm{y}=4 y

So amount generated by selling x blueberry jelly and y strawberry jam = 5x + 4y

And as Sara’s goal is to generate at least $120, so amount generated by selling “x” blueberry jelly and “y” strawberry jam must be greater than $120  

=> 5x + 4y ≥ 120   ------ (2)

Hence system of inequalities representing given scenario is as follows :

x + y ≤40  

5x + 4y ≥ 120

Solve 6 +5(m + 1) = 26.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

m = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 5 to the values inside the parentheses.

6 + 5m + 5 = 26

Combine like terms: 5m + 11 = 26

Then, you want to isolate the variable so you subtract 11 from both sides because what you do on one side must be done to the other.

5m + 11 - 11 = 5m

26 - 11 = 15

5m = 15

Then divide both sides by 5.

5m / 5 = m

15 / 5 = 3

m = 3

20 POINTS! What is the slope of the line through the points (2, 5) and (6, 13)?
sergejj [24]
Slope can be found using the formula \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}.

\frac{13-5}{6-2}
\frac{8}{4}&#10;
Slope = 2

So the slope of the line that passes through that point is 2.

Hope this helps :)

A pyramid has a square base with an area of 169ft. What is the perimeter of the base of the pyramid?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:52 ft.

Step-by-step explanation: If the area of the base of the pyramid is

169

ft

2

then each side of the base is

13

ft

long because the base of the pyramid is a square.

Length of the side,

s

=

√

169

=

13

Iif we take the area of a square

A

=

s

2

where

s

=

13

we get the area of the base to be

169

ft

2

thus proving that each side of the base is

13

ft

long.

So to find the perimeter of the base of the pyramid we use the formula:

P

=

4

s

where

s

=

13

ft

and thus,

p

=

4

⋅

13

ft

=

52

ft
