Question

Applications: Sarah's Pet Store never has more than a combined total of 16 cats and dogs. She also never has more than 9 cats. Write a system of inequalities and graph to show the possible number of cats and dogs in her store.

Answer 1

The possible solution is 12 cats and 4 dogs in Sarah's store.

Let x represent the number of cats and y represent the number of dogs.

Since Sarah's Pet Store never has more than a combined total of 16 cats and dogs. Hence:

• x + y ≤ 16

Also, She also never has more than 9 cats. Therefore:

• x > 9

The solution to the inequality is graphed. From the graph, the possible solution is 12 cats and 4 dogs
