PLEASE HELP AND PLEASE DON'T GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An electronics store makes a profit of $72 for every television sold and $90 for every computer sold. The manager’s target is to make at least $360 a day on sales from televisions and computers. Write a linear inequality and graph the solutions. What are three possible solutions to the problem?
A. (5, 2), (3, 3), and (1, 4) are three possible solutions.
B. (4, 0), (2, 2), and (1, 1) are three possible solutions.
C. (3, 1), (2, 2), and (1, 0) are three possible solutions. .
D. (4, 0), (3, 3), and (1, 4) are three possible solutions.

it actually depdens on which one you set for x and y

let's say that x=number of televisions sold
y=number of copmuter sold

72x+90y=profit
wants to make at least 360
72x+90y≥360
graph

one way is to find the x and y intercepts, first solve for '=' and not '≥'
x intercept, set y=0
72x=360
x=5
x intercept at (5,0)

yintercept
set x=0
90y=360
y=4
yiint at (0,4)

garph the points (5,0) and (0,4) and connect those points with aline
see witch side to graph one
is (0,0) in the solution set?
0≥360
false
it is not
shade on the side that it isn't on

we have
90x+72y≥360
that underline tells us that (0,5) and (4,0) are possible solutions


hmm
see each
the answer is A, if we do x=computers and y=TV, then D is also acceptable



answer is A
