Question

Farmer Lirn wanted to sell some gespils and totts at the market. He expected to sell no fewer than 5 units and no more than 6 gespils. Write a system of statements modeling the relationships between amount of gespils (x) and amount of totts (y).

a) 6x + y ≥ 5, y ≤ 6
b) x ≤ 5, y ≥ 6
c) x ≥ 5, y ≤ 6
d) x ≤ 6, y ≤ 5

Answer 1

The correct system of statements modeling the relationship between the amount of gespils and the amount of totts is option a) 6x + y ≥ 5, y ≤ 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct system of statements modeling the relationships between the amount of gespils (x) and the amount of totts (y) is option a) 6x + y ≥ 5, y ≤ 6.

This system of statements satisfies the given constraints that Farmer Lirn expected to sell no fewer than 5 units and no more than 6 gespils. The inequality 6x + y ≥ 5 represents the lower limit of 5 units, and the inequality y ≤ 6 represents the upper limit of 6 gespils.

Therefore, the correct answer is a) 6x + y ≥ 5, y ≤ 6.
