I believe that the a value is 2
<span>a) define the variables
The variables are x and y ; x can represent the number of times Aleah goes swimming ; while y can represents the number of times Aleah goes skating.
b) are there any restrictions on the variables?
The total sum of both activities must be equal or less than $80 a month
c) write a linear inequality to represent this situation
</span><span>Swimming costs $5 each time and skating costs $4 each time. No more than $80 a month.
5x + 4y <u><</u> 80
You can graph linear inequality using these coordinates.
x y
16 0
12 5
8 10
4 15
0 20</span>
You can make 4rectangular prisms with 16 cubes
