Question

A gardener will use up to 300 square feet for planting flowers and vegetables. He wants the area used for vegetables to be at least four times the area used for flowers. Let x denote the area (in square feet) used for flowers. Let y denote the area (in square feet) used for vegetables. Shade the region corresponding to all values of x and y that satisfy these requirements.

Answer 1

Answer:300

Explanation:

Because the total area planted (240 square feet) is going to be composed of an area of flowers (x) and an area of vegetables, you can say x + y ≤ 240 (because he will use UP TO 240 square feet)

Because the area of vegetables will be AT LEAST twice the area of flowers, you can say y ≥ 2x
