Question

A comedian needs up to ten volunteers for a show. He needs no fewer than four female volunteers.

Let x represent the number of female volunteers and y represent the number of male volunteers.

Select all inequalities that model this situation.




x+y≤10

y>0

x≥4

y≥0

x>4

x+y<10

Answer 1

x≥4

y≥0

x+y≤10

These are right, trust me. -_-

Answer 2

In this question, it is given that

A comedian needs up to ten volunteers for a show. He needs no fewer than four female volunteers.Let x represent the number of female volunteers and y represent the number of male volunteers.

Total should not be more than 10, that is

`x+y\leq  10`

And female volunteers,x, should not be less than 4, that is

`x\geq  4`

And number of male volunteers, y, cant be negative, that is

`y\geq  0`

So the inequalities are

`x+y\leq  10, x\geq 4, y\geq  0`
