Question

A shoe store employee needs to decide how many shoes to put on display. The store manager wants the number of sneakers on display to be at least two more than the number of soccer cleats on display. The store employee represents this restriction as y ≥ 2 + x, where x is the number of soccer cleats, and y is the number of sneakers on display.

Which of the following ordered pairs represents viable solutions in terms of the context?
(15, 18.5)
(14, 12)
(–1, 3)
(10, 12)

Answer 1

4,10 and 10,12 sorry if I’m wrong...

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given that a shoe store employee needs to decide how many shoes to put on display. The store manager wants the number of sneakers on display to be at least two more than the number of soccer cleats on display. The store employee represents this restriction as

`y ≥ 2 + x`, where x is the number of soccer cleats, and y is the number of sneakers on display.

WE have to find the viable points out of following:

(15, 18.5) : Not Viable since though 18.5 ≥ 2 + 15, no of sneakers cannot be in decimal.

(14, 12) : Not Viable since
`12 < 2 + 14`.

(–1, 3) : Not Viable since no of shoes cannot be in negative.

(10, 12) : viable since [tex]12 ≥ 2 + 10/tex]
