Answer:
- x+y≤80; x≥8; y≥5
- see attached for a graph
- Twenty campers are doing water-based activities and 40 campers are doing ground-based activities.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let x and y represent the numbers of campers doing water- and ground-based activities, respectively.
x + y ≤ 80 . . . . . . a maximum of 80 campers can be accommodated
x ≥ 8 . . . . . . . . . . a minimum of 8 campers should be water-based
y ≥ 5 . . . . . . . . . . a minimum of 5 campers should be ground-based
__
2. See the attachment for a graph. Possible outcomes are shaded red. The boundary lines of the shaded area are included in the possible outcomes.
__
3. Twenty campers are doing water-based activities and 40 campers are doing ground-based activities.
You get them either thrift or wrong
Parallel lines always have the same slope. In fact that is the definition of parallel lines :P (Technically they have the same slope and different y-intercepts, because parallel lines can never intersect...)

if we were to solve both equations for "y", we'd get

notice, the 1st equation is really the 2nd in disguise, since both lines are just pancaked on top of each other, every point in the lines is a solution or an intersection, and since both go to infinity, well, there you have it.
