Choose  exactly two 

answers that are correct.

Question 12 options: 5x + 12y ≤ 805x + 12y < 80x > 4 and y > 0x ≥ 4 and y  ≥ 0

Answer 1

I just finished the test and the answers are

5x+12y<_80

y>_0

x>_4

Answer 2

The term "no more than" implies "less than or equal to" in an equality.
Therefore, the inequality is:
5x + 12y ≤ 80
Given that he wants at least 4 small boxes on the shelf, x ≥ 4
so x ≥ 4 and y ≥ 0
