Answer 1

Part A: x + 2y ≤ 12.

Part B: y = -1/2x + 6.

Part C: (0, 0).

Explanation:

Part A: The total hours of homework have to be 12 hours, and it has to be either 12 hours or less. So, we have ≤ 12.

They take 1 math course with x hours of homework, so in total, that is 1 * x = x hours of math homework.

They take 2 science courses with y hours of homework, so in total, that is 2 * y = 2y hours of science homework.

The inequality would then be x + 2y ≤ 12.

Part B: x + 2y = 12

2y = -x + 12

y = -1/2x + 6

You can use the Math is Fun: Function Grapher and Calculator to find the graph of the line, shown below.

Part C: Since the inequality uses a ≤ symbol, we know that the shading will be underneath the line. An appropriate point below the line includes (0, 0). We will test out whether it works as a point included in the inequality.

x + 2y ≤ 12

0 + 2 * 0 ≤ 12

0 + 0 ≤ 12

0 ≤ 12

Since this is a true statement, (0, 0) holds true for the inequality.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x + 2y ≤ 12

x + 2y = 12

Explanation:

The teachers can not give more than 12 hours of homework so this is the answer. those are the 2 equations you can use. It under 12 hours or equal to 12 hours.
