Answer:
y ≥ 3x - 1
y < 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the solid line passing through (x', y') given in graph is,
y = mx + b
Here m = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Slope of the solid line =
m = 
m = 3
y - intercept 'b' = -1
Therefore, equation of the line will be,
y = 3x - 1
Since, shaded (blue) area is above the line, inequality that will represent the solution area will be,
y ≥ 3x - 1
For the dotted line,
Slope of the line (m) = 
= 
= 
y-intercept (b) = 2
Equation of the dotted line → y =
Since, shaded (grey color) area is below the dotted line,
Inequality representing the solution area will be,
y <
First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables: Let x = number of large boxes y = number of small boxes "There are 115 boxes in all" means x + y = 115 [eq1] Now, the pounds for each kind of box is: (pounds per box)*(number of boxes) So, pounds for large boxes + pounds for small boxes = 4125 pounds "the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes" (50)*(x) + (25)*(y) = 4125 [eq2] It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables. Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2. Let's solve for x: x = 115 - y [from eq1] 50(115-y) + 25y = 4125 [from eq2] 5750 - 50y + 25y = 4125 [distribute] 5750 - 25y = 4125 -25y = -1625 y = 65 [divide both sides by (-25)] There are 65 small boxes. Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x: x = 115 - y x = 115 - 65 x = 50 There are 50 large boxes.
Answer:
on what? I will, but on what?
