Question

Can someone pls help it’s due in two hours

Darren is training for a triathlon. Each week, he goes to the gym for a maximum of 20 hours. He spends at least 8 of those hours weightlifting (x). He wants to spend no more than 15 hours doing cardio exercises (y). Write a system of linear inequalities that represents the restrictions of this scenario.

Answer 1

y ≤ 20-8x

Explanation:

Darren needs to spend no more than 15 hours on cardio exercise (y). To figure out how much time he has we need to do 20-8x. Any leftover hours are the hours left for him to spend doing his exercises. Since y has to be less than or equal to 20-8x, the system of linear inequalities should be:

y ≤ 20-8x
