Answer:

Pencils cost $2

Markers cost $1

Erasers cost $0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let pencils be denoted by P, markers by M and erasers by E. The following linear system can be modeled from the data provided:

5P+7M+8E = 19\\7P+5M+8E=21\\4P+8M+7E =17.75

Solving the linear system:

2P-2M= 2\\P=1+M\\4+4M+8M+7E =17.75\\\\12M+7E = 13.75\\12M+8E=14\\E=0.25\\M=\frac{14-0.25*8}{12}\\ M=1\\P=1+1=2

Pencils cost $2

Markers cost $1

Erasers cost $0.25

Help!<br> math problem step by step please
natta225 [31]

Answer:

2x -y ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercepts of the boundary line are given, so it is convenient to start with the equation of that line in intercept form:

... x/(x-intercept) + y/(y-intercept) = 1

... x/2 + y/(-4) = 1

Multiplying by 4 gives the equation of the line.

... 2x -y = 4

This line divides the plane into two half-planes. The half-plane that is shaded is the one for larger values of x and/or smaller values of y than the ones on the line. So, for some given y, if we increase x we will get a number from our equation above that is greater than 4. Hence, the inequality we want is ...

... 2x -y ≥ 4

We use the ≥ symbol because the line is solid, so part of the solution space.
