Question

a hotel with 75 rooms has 45 for doubles and 30 singles. singles can be booked in any room, but reservations for two or more people must be booked in double rooms. what inequalities represents this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 75 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given variables, and then we can see that

when x = 75 then y = 0

when x = 30 then y = 45

Finding the difference, we have

slope(m) = (45 - 0) / (30 - 75)

slope(m) = 45 / -45

slope(m) = -1

Next, we use the calculated m, to find b, using the formula

y = mx + b

0 = -1 * 75 + b

0 = -75 + b

b = 75

And finally, to get the needed equation, we say that

so y = mX+c

So that

y = -1 * x + 75

y = -x + 75

or y = 75 - x
