Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!! I CANNOT RETAKE THIS!!

Answer 1

Number of small boxes = x

Number of large boxes = y

she has at least 4 small boxes.

`x \geqslant 4`

Number of large boxes can be 0 or more.

`y \geqslant 0`

Maximum weight = 80lb

`5x + 12y \leqslant 80`


These are the required equations.

Answer 2

Your job looks correct. The number of small boxes is x, and we know that she has at least 4 of them so we have
`x \geq 4`.

We have no information about the number of large boxes, so the first two options make no sense.

Also, x boxes weighing 5lb and y boxes weighing 12lb sum up to
`5x+12y`, and this weight can be at most 80, so we have

`5x+12y \leq 80`
