Answer choices
a. b. c. line segment ed
d. line segment dc

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max.   it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to.   the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max.   therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost.   it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults.   same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed.   the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y.   since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200

is there any other information given for this problem? this is not enough information.

this would be 35. 35 + 5 = 40. you take the known constant and subtract by the answer of the equation and you get y.

answer:

the answer is b) divide by -4 on each side and flip the sign.

step-by-step explanation:

we first need to start by dividing. this is because it is a multiplication problem to start.

we also need to make sure we flip the sign because any time you multiply or divide by negative numbers, the sign must be flipped.
