Answer 1

Select all inequalities that model this situation.

A- x + y < 10

B- x + y ≤ 10

C- x > 4

D- x ≥ 4

E- y > 0

G- y ≥ 0

Answer : B, D and G

let x be the number of female volunteers

and y be the number of male volunteers.

A comedian needs up to ten volunteers for a show

So female + male <=10

x +y <=10

He needs no fewer than four female volunteers

female volunteers should be greater than or equal to 4

x>=4

Also male volunteers will be greater than or equal to 0. y cannot be negative

y>=0
