The left side of the equation HAS TO BE GREATER THAN 3
So we take each ordered pair (x,y), plug it into the expression of left side of inequality and see which one is GREATER THAN 3. That's our answer.
A:
0.5x - 2y
0.5(-2) -2(0.5) = -2
NO
B:
0.5x - 2y
0.5(2) -2(1) = -1
NO
C:
0.5x -2y
0.5(2) -2(-1) = 3
NO
D:
0.5x -2y
0.5(-2) -2(-0.5) = 0
NO
None of them are solutions. C would have been a solution if the inequality had an "EQUAL SIGN" -- but it doesn't. Maybe the question is wrong, but if the question is right, then there is no correct answer.
A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches orr larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8 and each additional costs $1.50 and each additional topping costs $0.75.
The equation that represents the cost of a pizza is:
P = $10 + $1.50a + $0.75b
Where 'a' represents the number additional inches and 'b' represents the number of additional toppings.
