Answer:
B. The value of y can be negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of y can be negative, which means the beekeeper wasn't able to sell a lot of jars that could compensate the amount he paid for the booth. It also means<em> he didn't have any profit, rather, he incurred a loss.</em>
For example, if the beekeeper sold only 5 jars of honey, the solution will look like this:
Let x be the number of jars of honey the beekeeper sold.
- y = 5x - 30
- y = 5(5) - 30
- y = 25 - 30
- y = -5
This means that the beekeeper has a<em> loss of $5</em>.
