Question

You are fishing at Lake hilton and intend to catch two types of fish: salmon and trout. Local fishing laws allow you to catch at most 10 salmon and at most 8 trout. You intend to capture more salmon than trout. You need to catch at least 5 fish for the family dinner tonight. Let x = the number of salmon and y = the number of trout. Which of the following inequalities are needed to represent this system? Choose all that apply. *

y > x

x ≤ 8

x + y > 5

y ≤ 10

y ≥ 0

x ≤ 10

x > y

x ≥ 0

x + y ≥ 5

y ≤ 8

Answer 1

x+y >= 5

y<=8

x<=10

x>y

Explanation:

x+y is greater or equal to 5 because you need at least 5 for dinner.

y is less than equal to 8 because the fishing laws state you can't have more than 8 trout.

x is less than equal to 10 because the fishing laws state you can't have more than 10 salmon.

x>y because you intend to catch more salmon than trout
