Question

Marvin bought some softballs and hardballs for the high school teams he coaches. Softballs cost $5 each, and hardballs cost $4 each. Marvin can spend no more than $20. If \displaystyle xx represents the number of hardballs be bought, and \displaystyle yy represents the number of softballs he bought, then write an equation in standard form, \displaystyle Ax+By=CAx+By=C that represents this situation. Don't use \displaystyle == . Use inequality symbols instead.

Answer 1

Answer:

5x+4y<=20

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to model the expression for the cost of the softball and the Hardball combined.

le the number of hardballs be x

let  the number of softs balls be y

 the cost of the hardballs is =5x

  the cost of softball is =4y

therefore given that the total cost is =$20

the expression for the cost of x and y balls is given as

5x+4y<=20
