Answer:
Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write a word problem for the equation.
Let x represent the present age of Carlos.
Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.
Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)
Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2
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.
