Question

A company dyes two sixes of rugs. Which of the following inequalities can be paired with x+y>22 to create a system that represents this situation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

hello there i will give you an explanation of how this works so let go to it

so the question that you are asking me is to create a system that represent

this situation so what we can do is that let just imagine that x equals to small rugs and z equals medium rugs. so it takes 8 hours to dye a small rug so this suggest that you would right it as 8x. so its take 12 hours to dye a medium rug so we do the same thing as we do to the small rug so you already know that is would be 12z ok so those needed to be added together.

the dyer needs to dye at least 22 rugs in 240 hrs so you would need a less than or a equal to sign.

so with all of this we can tell what the answer already is so i will give a a minute to get the answer time is up here is the answer down below :

8x+12y≤240, or 12y+8x≤240

Answer 2

Let x=small rugs and y=medium rugs. It takes 8 hours to dye a small rug, so you would write 8x. It takes 12 hours to dye a small rug, so you would write 12y. Those two would need to be added together. The dyer needs to dye at least 22 rugs in 240 hours, so you would need a less than or = to sign.

I'm not sure which choice has the line beneath, indicating that the sign is a "less than or equal to" sign, but the answer is gonna be either C or D.

8x+12y≤240, or 12y+8x≤240
