Question

A grill at a barbecue restaurant will be used to cook sausage links that are 2 lbs and briskets that are 6 lb each. No more than 120 lb of sausage links and briskets will be on the grill.

which inequality represents all possible combinations of x, the number of sausage is that
will be cooked on the gol, and y, the number of briskets that will also be cooked?
A 6x +2y < 120
B 2x+by s 120
c 6x+2y> 120
D 2x + 5y 2 120​

Answer 1

`2x+6y\leq 120`

(which I believe is option B, although it seems to have some typos)

Explanation:

We know that the total amount cannot be more than 120lb. This means that one side of our inequality is
`\leq 120`

.We also know that each sausage (x) weighs 2lb, and each brisket (y) is 6 lb.

Thus, every x must contribute 2lb to the total in the inequality, and every y must contribute 6lb. This means another side of our equation must be
`2x+6y`

Thus, our equation must be

`2x+6y\leq 120`

Answer 2

b. 2x+6y≤120
