Answer:
For a flag with 2 different colours, there are 8 possible colours for the first colour to be chosen from and 7 possible colours (excluding the first colour already chosen) for the second colour to be chosen from, given that colours are different. Hence there are a total of 8 x 7 = 56 possible flags to be created.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Answer </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
Given inequality ,
- -5x +3y > 12
- 3y > 5x + 12
- y > 5/3x + 12/3
- y > 5/3x + 4
From the options ,
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>y </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>9</u>
- y >1* 5 + 4
- y > 5 +4
- 9> 9 ( Not possible )
<u>When</u><u> </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>5</u><u> </u>
- y > 5/3*-5 + 4
- y > -8.3 + 4
- 5 > -3.7 ( Possible )
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u>
- y > 5 + 4
- -6 > 9 ( Not possible )
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>5</u><u> </u>
- y > -3.33 + 4
- -5 > -0.67 ( Possible )
<u>When </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>8</u><u> </u>
- y > 3.33 + 4
- 8 > 7.77 ( possible )
<u>When</u><u> </u><u>x </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>y </u><u>is </u><u>0</u><u> </u>
- y > -10 +4
- 0 > -6 ( possible )
We can solve this using substitution.
because x-y=2.5
x=y+2.5
Now substitute x into other equation.
2(y+2.5)^2-2y=125
2y^2+10y+12.5-2y=125
2y^2+8y-112.5=0
Now comes the ugly part
y=-4+-sqrt(16+900)
y=-4+-sqrt916
y=-4+-2sqrt229
x=-1.5+-2sqrt229
Just 7 would be the answer
