Question

A basket holds at most 15 pounds of apples and oranges. There are no more than 6 pounds of apples in the basket. This graph shows the system that represents this scenario, where x is the weight of the apples and y is the weight of the oranges.

Which point represents a viable solution?

Answer 1

(2,12)

Explanation:

A P E X

Answer 2

(2, 12)

Explanation

The inequalities in this situation are:

x + y ≈ 15 ( almost 15)

x ≤ 6 (x is less or equal to 6)

y ≥ 0 (y is greater than or equal to 0)

From the graph shown the viable points should be inside the blue region.

This points are: (4, 10), (2, 12), (6, 8) and (0, 14)

From the choices the correct answer is: C. (2, 12)
