Question

A farmer has 12 acres of land. He plans to plant w acres of wheat and b acres of barley on his land. If he plans to plant wheat in no more than 3 acres of land, which system of inequalities represents the possible values for b and w ?

A w + b ≥ 12
B w + b ≥ 12
C w + b ≤ 12
D w + b ≤ 12

Answer 1

the answer to ur question is C

Answer 2

C. w + b ≤ 12

Explanation:

The farmer only has 12 acres of land, so they cannot go beyond that number.

So, it would have to be equal to or less than 12.

But then you have to add how many acres of land the farmer plans to plant both wheat and barley. So, you have to add the acres of wheat and barley together.

Your equation should be w + b ≤ 12
