Question

A snack tray at a party has cheese squares with 2 grams of protein apiece and turkey slices with 3 grams of protein apiece. Which inequality represents the possible ways Nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein, if x is the number of cheese squares that she eats and y is the number of turkey slices that she eats?

Answer 1

Answer:
`12\leq2x+3y`

Explanation:

It is 2x+3y
`\geq`12 but the edgunuity answer it the one on the top even though they are the same thing :)

Answer 2

Given:
cheese squares w/ 2 grams of protein a piece = x
turkey slices with 3 grams of protein a piece = y
Nina can eat 12 or more grams of protein.

The inequality is:

2x + 3y > 12

I used greater than or equal to because of the statement "12 or more". This means that the minimum number of proteins is equal to 12.
