In a scale drawing of a house, 2 inches : 5 feet. The actual kitchen of the house will be 17 feet long. How long will the drawing of the kitchen be? A. 5.2

B. 6.8

C. 7.5

D. 8

B, 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find how many feet it is per 1 inch. We can do this by dividing 5 by 2

5/2= 2.5

Now it is 1 inch : 2.5 feet

17/2.5 = 6.8

1 x 6.8 = 6.8

6.8 inches : 17 feet

You could also solve this by doing

17/5 =3.4

3.4 x 2 = 6.8

6.8 inches : 17 feet

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
